Thursday

Well as most of you known, today is Thursday. Well Thursdays are my day off from my job, and usually these days are spent helping Katie by cleaning up the house since we have both been at work all week, and spending the day with Troy, my oldest. Needless to say I look forward to Thursdays very much, in my line of work having a Saturday off is pretty much impossible, so Thursdays become my Saturday. Well today I did not get to spend the day with Troy, I did clean up the house a little bit which Katie is thankful for, but today I was helping my mother by working on her van so it can pass inspection this month. I went to a friends garage to work on the van and thankfully, he was able to share his garage bay, tools, and workers with me to help me out. It made me think about friendship and how important it is. Matt and I have been friends for a long time, and I have helped him, and he has helped me. It is hard for me to think about my life without having a good friend to help me through so many different things in life. 
Our friendship reminds me of my friendship with God, I go to God when I need help with different issues in my life, just like I go to Matt when I need help with a car, or advice on begin a dad, or just when I need someone to talk to about anything. Matt and God, to me, are very much the same. I need God to help me and show me the right direction to take, but many times God has spoken through Matt directly to me. Matt has been a direct line to God for me before, even though I do not think he knows it, he has been. 
In my line of work, many guys seen me day after day working on their cars, seeking me for advice, or just working with me. But I only have one true friend that I feel is a close friend. I hope that you have that one true friend, but the great news is that I have one humanly close friend, and one heavenly one. Jesus is my Lord, my savor, my forgiver, and my best friend. I pray that you feel that same way, It is not hard, just like making friends in grade school. 


I pray that the Lord God is with you all tonight, 
God Bless you and your friends,
Eric
