Friends of the Heart

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: if opne falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."

Ecc 4:9-12



I've heard this verse refered to alot in marriages or weddings. I first started understanding this verse in a special friendship with Cristen. We've known eachother since 1992 playing soccar together in middle school. That's over 15 years! The best thing about being friends with someone that long is we both love the Lord and can account for eachother. We are both now married, starting families and still are able to to find time to still encourage eachother. This time was spent the other day at the park. It was a very nice day and we had a great time outside with the kids.

Where have our lives brought us today?
Acts 20:24 "For I consider my life worth nothing to me, if I may only finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace."
We are both persuing God's guidance to this verse on how we can take his word to the ends of the earth. Check out her blog at thesinks.blogspot.com
