Today’s Daily Lesson comes from Proverbs chapter 27 verse 10:
“Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your parent.”
Yesterday I had a touching call with a woman who is in her nineties. She wanted to tell me about the son of a close friend who has looked after her for years, after his own parents’ passing. He is a member of her church calls her every Sunday to check in on her, tell her about worship, and report on life. The Sunday calls are a ritual for them both, and an important connection for the home bound woman.
What a beautiful thing.
There is so much ugliness and brutality and violence in the world. And what this man does is do small. But it matters.
“And when I was a shut in you called me.”
This is the near end of love for this man. He has grabbed hold.
Let’s all take hold where we can.
