There is a Friend...
"There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Proverbs 18:24
Brothers. Sisters. Friends. Does it get any better than those bonds?
Especially in Christ: Brothers and Sisters bound together by the blood of Jesus and the love of God! :)
It takes a mature Christian to arrive at that point, right?
Guess again.
Look at this photo! Do you think any of those boys are thinking: Oh, poor Trey. I feel so sad for him and his cancer.
I don't even know how to talk to him or reach out to him. What words do I say? How can I "ahem" minister to him?
Look
closely at these Costain and Mitlo "brothers"...arms entwined, eyes
engaged, smiles erupting...all working toward the same goal at Joe's
Bowling Birthday Party = F-U-N! :)
(aka consuming massive quantities
of fruit punch, sliding on slippery bowling lanes and trying to weasel
quarters from the adults for the little vending machine!)
Regardless of the goal, they are united.
How
is that working for you? Do you have a band of "brothers" in your
journey with Christ? Someone(s) to support you, encourage you, correct
you and love you?
Maybe it's time for YOU to find a "bowling" buddy! :) Or a "'prayer" buddy! Or a jogging buddy! Or a lunch buddy!
Someone to drape your arms around and love through the ugly, blotchy face days...or fruit punch mustache days! :)
We praise God for the HUGE brotherhood of pray-ers and cheerleaders in Team Mitlo One! Keep up the awesome job!
Please continue to thank God for each and every joy filled face and precious moment with Trey!
Please ask for many, many more!
Please
also give thanks that Trey was able to continue with his treatment this
week - even after a busy, exhausting weekend! <3
And please pray
for God's wisdom and strength and hope and joy (and miracle cure!) to
be ever present in Trey's life and in his family's life! :)
"Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other.
Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a
humble attitude."
I Peter 3:8
