Someone said, “What would we do without our friends?” Recentlysomeone topped the branches from one of our trees and cleaned out the guttersof our house. He knew I had not been able to get to it, and it would be difficultfor me because of my arthritis and medical problems.

Other friends phoned to see if Dad Jespersen was okay and if they could doanything to help care for him.

Another friend heard a conference speaker say that he had a lot of books forneedy pastors. The books were free for the taking, so our friend asked for 2000copies to be shipped to Zambia pastors and the organization gave another 1000copies of the book for needy pastors in the Philippines. We received $21,000worth of books because of the contact of a concerned friend.

Another acquaintance phoned me to tell me he was gathering reference bookswhich were not being used for needy pastors from the church library.

A few days ago, someone dropped off a used sewing machineand other electrical items for a vocational training school in the Philippines.

We received a $20 gift from an older lady in a retirement home which shereceived for watching another lady’s cat. She wanted the money to be used forthe sharing of the Gospel with needy children.Another friend sent $10,000 for the ACTION ShalomChristian Birthing Home in the Philippines. Other friends donated sheets, tooth paste, and books to minister to thepoor.
As I have had surgery, friends mowed the lawn, brought meals, flowers, andballoons, helped care for Dad, and drove us to and from the hospital.
I could go on and on, but I will finish with thesequestions, “To whom can we be a friend today? To whom can we reach out? Whomcan we help with a chore that needs doing?”
Yes, what would we ever do without our friends?
