The old alarm clock woke me up this morning and I could hear the call of the Door County Maple Coffee directing me to the kitchen. It's time to write.
Every now and then we all need to just sit down and talk with someone. It might be that we have some things we want to get off of our chest like a string of bad days that just seem to be like skunk juice. The days are over but they still leave a putrid smell that won't go away. Sometimes the cares of life just seem to tangle our minds.
There are those times when a change in our lives needs to happen or it is coming and you just have to deal with it. It;s times like these that you just need a sounding board, You need to chat with someone who cares about you. I always recommend that you pursue God during these times. But we also need to remember that God does provide others who we can trust to sit with us, listen, offer advice if it is requested and if needed tell us what we don't want to hear. There are two Bible verses that come to mind this morning that back up my thoughts.
Proverbs 27:17 As Iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another.
We might just need a few minutes with a trusted friend to sharpen the edges of our mind with advice, correction or just plain old friendship.
Proverbs 18:24 A man who has friends, must himself be friendly. But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Today you might need to be the listener for someone, or you might be the one who needs to chat. So give thanks to God. He either gave you to be the listener or He gave you someone to listen to you.
Stay sharp!
Marty
