Do you have a Robin???????

Good morning Friends! I had a busy night last night. I was cleaning out our camper. Since the Lord has called us into the ministry. We really have not had time to camp. So, it is excess weight. sometimes you have to cut loose the excess. I sat at work today and watched people. I know that sounds strange but, try it sometime. You will be surprised at what all you see. How friendly are people or un-friendly are they? Watch how people react to the friendly people. That got me thinking about today's subject. Let's dig into the good stuff!

Bible verse: Proverbs 18:24 A man who has a friend must be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

How friendly are we? Are we approachable? Why must we be lonely? Loneliness is everywhere. You can see it on people's faces and in their actions. Many people feel cut off and kind of alienated from others. We need friends. We need friends who will stick close, listen, care, and offer their help when needed. This has to be in good times and in bad. Our problem most of the time is trust. We don't want to trust another man, because he might betray us. A great poet by the name of Ralph Waldo Emerson once said "Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves great". Every great good guy when I was growing up had a faithful sidekick. Batman and Robin, Lone Ranger and Tanto, Starchky and Hutch, and Ponch and John. There are many more too. Even woman have some, Cagney and Lacey or Lavern and Shirley. See, what I am trying to say is, be a friend to get a friend. Don't try to be this macho person and say " I don't need anyone, I can handle all this stuff". A true friend is immeasurable.

Now, Proverbs give some more advice on friends. Here's some more meat for you. Proverbs 13:20 says "He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fool will be destroyed. Proverbs 12:26 says "The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray. Saying this, who do hang around? Who do you hang around at work? Are they leading you astray? Would they make good friends? Would they be trustworthy? We need to have friends and seek them out. But, we need to pick carefully. Well, got to get to work and make Misty some money (LOL). Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
