Midweek Message, August 17, 2016

A friend loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17).
There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother (or sister) (Proverbs 18:24).

This summer I took a road trip to the Adirondack Mountains with my great friend, Sheffield. We go all the way back to Junior High School. He was the best man at my wedding and I am the godfather for his daughter.  

Kenny Rogers sang a neat song a few years back:  “You Can’t Make Old Friends.”  Here are a few of the lyrics:

            What will I do when you are gone?

            Who’s gonna tell me the truth?

            Who’s gonna finish the stories I start

            The way you always do?

 

            When Saint Peter opens the gate

            And you come walking in

            I’ll be there just waiting for you

            Cause you can’t make old friends

I am most thankful for your ongoing friendship. It is a priceless treasure to me.  

Love and prayers,
Cliff
