Good morning! I hope you had a restful weekend and have hit the ground running this morning.
I had the privilege this weekend of taking part in a men’s retreat near
One of the greatest outcomes of times like these is the development of new and long lasting friendships. A group of men start out as total strangers or simply casual acquaintances, but after spending a few hours together the bonds begin to develop.
Look at what the Bible says about friendship:
Proverbs 17:17 (NLT)
A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
Our men’s retreat helped bring about this kinship of brothers. Some drove, others cooked, others cleaned, and still some organized games and competition. Each man worked side by side with other men for common purposes.
Men are not known for their openness and sensitivity. It takes these bonds of friendship to bring men to that level. It was exciting to watch this group of men bond and then open up as the days went by.
Today I encourage you to take inventory of your friendships. Are you taking the time to cultivate those deep and lasting relationships? If you find that you are lacking in friends, maybe it’s time to get away and put some time into cultivating some new ones.
Until next Monday, may God’s richest blessings be yours this week.
