stretcher bearers

I was talking to a friend the other day.  He told me that in life, there are friends, and then there are stretcher bearers.

Friends are friends.  We know what that is about.  Stretcher bearers are those who pick you up and carry you in life when you have been wounded.

Everyone has times on this journey when we feel knocked down.  Thank God for those special friends who refuse to give up on us. Thank God for those who will walk through your hell with you and never leave.  Thank God for those who pick you up when you are down and help you back onto your feel again.

I hope that you are a stretcher bearer to another, and I hope that you have some one that will come to help you in time of need.  They are invaluable in this life.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
