Rich in Friends

Making a church central to your daily life offers one of the most amazing advantages to our existence. Churches offer the wonderful atmosphere that fosters lifelong, treasured friends. There is something amazing about how, when you are united in worship of God, when you pray together, when you serve others together in the name of God, friendships blossom deep and strong beyond the human ability to grow such magnificent relationships. Friendships like these endure through tough times as well as good times. The bonds cemented by shared beliefs flourish and last, creating a dependable support network beneath us.

Friends laugh with us, work beside us, bear our sorrows beside us. Friends care about what touches us. They are one of the greatest riches of life. Friends are worthy of every action of involvement required. Friends help us learn and grow in our ability and willingness to forgive. Friends help us grow in our ability to overlook irritations. Friends enhance our lives beyond anything money offers us. They are worth any bending, expending, or overlooking to acquire such treasure. Get into and become active in a church. Pick up the phone, write a note, pray for those treasures in your life. Nourish your friendships they make us rich.
