Proverbs 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
My Thoughts
I have always been thankful for my brother, Jamie. I love him with all my heart! I have never really thought that God gave him to me...and me to him as a help in time of need. I thanked God for him this morning, I thanked God that he gave us each other for that very purpose. I have often thanked God for my brother, just because I love him so.... but never for giving him to me for when I need him. My brother always comes when I need him, always!.. My mom, who is not his mom, had a heart attack several years back.... they rushed her to surgery because all the blood drained out of her leg. I had to sign a piece of paper that they could take my mom's leg if necessary. I was terrified!!... My husband and kids were with me.... my mothers brothers ans sisters were there...but all the sudden I said "I have to call Jamie, I need my brother!" I called him, it was the middle of the night...he came. He always comes when I call...and it always gives me strength..that extra bit of strength I need to get me through. In Psalms 138:3 it says "you (God) encourage me by giving me strength." One of the reasons God gave me my brother was for those times when I need extra strength. Now when Jamie walks in a room and I grow stronger, I know to thank God! Because that gift of strength, that gift of love that gift of my brother, Jamie came straight from God! I love you baby brother!.... Thank you God that you gave me my brother, Jamie. Who are you thankful for today? Who gives you that extra bit of needed strength?
