While I sketched this I was thinking about how branches that are woven together as they grow form a strong bond that is not easily broken, moved, or shaken. As we sow into one another similar bonds are created. God has pointed out several people to me this week that could use a bit of encouragement. He is asking me to pray for them, lift them up, and be purposeful in my interaction with them.
Question to ponder --- Who is God laying on your heart this week?
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down,
his friend can help him up.
But pity the man who falls
and has no one to help him up!
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
I always find something to feed me when I visit your blog. Thank you, Patrick for your words, insight and art.
