Sunday's Coming

Good morning, from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
We are visiting daughter Stephanie and family. Our youngest grandson, Logan, has been diagnosed with a heart problem (SVT). They are going to do surgery either Friday or Monday. So please keep him and our family in your prayers.
We were talking last night about all the friends they have and how they all want to be there and help in anyway they can. So my mind went to what is a friend?

I am told about this newspaper in England giving a reward for the best definition of "what is a friend?"  Thousands answered.  The winner?  "A FRIEND IS ONE THAT COMES WHEN EVERYONE ELSE GOES."

Friends Encourage and Help each other.
1. Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
2. Proverbs 27:9 Ointment and perfume delight the heart, and the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel.
3. Job 6:14 “To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
4. Friends encourage one another in the Lord; they draw one another closer to the Lord. They do not draw each other down and away from the Lord.
5. “True friends are those who lift you up when your heart’s wings forget how to fly. They know the song in your heart and sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.” ~author unknown
6. In the Peanuts comic strip, on one occasion, Peppermint Patty said to Marcie: “I’d like to read this book, Marcie, but I’m kind of afraid. I had a grandfather who didn’t think much of reading.”She continued by saying, “He always said that if you read too many books, your head would fall off.” Marcie responds, “You start the first chapter, and I’ll hold onto your head!” - copied
7. Ecclesiastes 4:9 - 10 (NKJV) Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up.
Thank you for your friendship.
May God be blessed in your life today!
LaVon and I are truly thankful to God for each of you. Thank you for your continual support and interest in our ministry by investing yourself in many ways as partners with us: by prayer, e-mails, phone calls and your financial gifts. Without any of these we could not continue what God has called us to do and that is to share the living waterwith the world through the RV ministry.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on.
Don
