Stick Close....Like a JOYful Bro. or Sis!



          Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Great! Now, share some with your friends!

            Friends are such a blessing in our lives.  All of us can think of those extra special friends who have been with us through thick and thin.  The kind of friend that Proverbs 18:24 speaks of:  A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

            Do you always show yourself friendly?  Some days we may be grumpy or tired, but that’s no excuse not to be friendly! It costs nothing and will reap such JOYful rewards!  

Have you noticed how God often brings people into our lives right when we need a special friend?  Sometimes they are there to teach us, encourage us, help us through times of trouble.  In times of heartbreak, it’s those special friends who are there to help pick up the pieces and remind us that…with God’s help…we can go on! It may a JOYful time and they are there to help us celebrate! 

 If you are the kind of friend that “sticketh closer than a brother” (or sister), then you can count on having friends to surround you in your time of need and your time of celebration. Take a minute to think of the special friends God has placed in your life.  Make a real effort to tell them what they mean to you. If possible, spend more time with them…as you encourage each other in your spiritual walk.     

Let's praise God for the gift of friendship.  Stir up a special flavor of JOY JUICE to share with your friends today!
