The Power of Three

"Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.

 For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.

 Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone?

 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Everyone needs a friend. A friend encourages us when we're down, stands by us when everyone else has left, and challenges us to turn around when we're headed the wrong way. Work is always easier when someone helps, and the cold is less noticeable when you're with someone. The most rewarding friendships are those where Christ is the common bond. For though there is more strength in two than one, when Jesus is present and acknowledged the friendship becomes eternally strong.
