“A friend loves at all times and brother was born for a time of adversity.” Proverbs 17:17

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for sending help through people to share the joys and sorrows of life with me. In your mercy you have chosen both friends and family to walk with me through this difficult life. We are not perfect. We often muddle through being the support the other person needs. But as imperfect as we are, we are still your gift to each other. Your invention of community is wonderful and makes long roads shorter. Give me the wisdom to be the encouragement, support and help that friends and family in my life need. Make me like your Son who met needs at the corner of every moment. Amen.

People are like car parts. They sit useless in a box on a shelf until they are connected to others
