The Sunday school lesson Sunday was from I Samuel and centered on the friendship between Jonathan and David. It was a good reminder to us of the importance of Christian friendships. It also reminded us to stay faithful to our friends and be an encourager to them. Friendships are certainly worth the time and effort you put into them. I’m very thankful for my many friends. Each one is special to me. What about you?
Have a terrific Tuesday!
