I don’t know exactly how it takes over, but when too much goes wrong in my life, I start feeling miserable. That’s exactly what . . .

happened this weekend. I ended up telling my friend whom I walk with my tale of woe and as usual she was understanding and even suggested a solution. Then of all things, she came over and actually fixed the problem. I was so encouraged.

This event reminded me again of what I’ve known for a long time. Having a friend/being a friend, makes a difference on this hard road called life. Sometimes we will be the one in need, other times it will be someone else. The point to remember is we were made to be interdependent. And sometimes, like the Good Samaritan in the Bible, a need will arise and we will be given an opportunity to help out in someone else’s life. Kindness makes a difference.
