COUNCIL MESSAGE FOR OCTOBER 2018
The Ultimate Friend
Everyone has people in their lives that they call friends. These are special people that we have somehow bonded with that have given of themselves to make a difference in our lives. Sometimes our relationship centers around good times and they help us to appreciate life and enjoy all of the the good times. At other times of trials and disappointment which come in many forms and sends us into major challenges, those friends are a tremendous support and in many ways help us to climb back into a more stable level to build our future on. As the saying goes, these people stick with us through thick and thin. As we journey through life, the friends take on different meanings and the people we cherish take on a different level of purpose. We form new relationships and tend to fade away from others as we take new paths and opportunities in our lives. Most people change their primary focus many times and strike out in many new adventures and that means some relationships change as we drift apart. So who do we lean on for support in any and all stages of our lives as we go through the good times and challenges which we face. As the precious old hymn reminds us every day....What A Friend We Have In Jesus. If you don't know this hymn by heart, take time to learn it, remind yourself of what it says and take time to review it every day. It will carry you through everything that you face every day both good times and all the trials we face. Jesus is with us every minute of our lives and he will always carry us through as our one and only ultimate friend. He gives the hope and support that never ends. Take it to The Lord in Prayer.
