Appreciating Others in Our Lives

"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."  Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
Having friends and companions to do life with is so important to our own success.  We can balance each other if we get out of focus or into unhealthy choices.  Those who are alone in life don't have others to bounce their thoughts and plans off of to be sure they are staying in line with God's Word and good health.  When those who have chosen to "go it alone" get into trouble, they haven't built the stability around them they will fall further and faster than those who have linked arms with Christian friends and family.  When we see those around us going through life alone, we should reach out to them and help them get connected to God's family in their area of need at that time.  Be aware of the support groups your church has to offer and help those around you get connected.  You can go with them for their first session of Divorce Care, Grief Share, or Celebrate Recovery.  Helping them meet and get connected with others who are working through their difficulties of life in a positive way is an awesome thing for us to do.  And helping them find the Lord's help in their time of need is the greatest thing we can do for others.  Lift up others around you today, Church Chicks!
