A shoulder to lean on.

When life throws you things over and over and over and over and you don't think you can go on, what happens? Many people have that person who they can lean on and talk to. Granted lots of people hold closer to God in those times but some people need a shoulder to "lean" on.

We need someone to tell us we aren't going insane when we feel like our whole world is crumbling. Some people don't have that support. Some people have people who they think they can trust and they totally back stab them. There are some people who want support and don't have it.

What happens to those people who are desperately seeking a shoulder, support, someone to say its gonna be okay? They can go insane or end up taking their life. I know that we don't wanna think about those things but look at this.

In Kidz Krib we have been learning about friendship and how important it is. God made us for friendship and connection with other people. Friendship is taking the good with the bad and loving someone unconditionally. Think about if your best friend, the person who you told everything, disappeared. How devastated would you be?

I can see how it devastates the kids when someone tells them they aren't friends. It's equally as important to adults. Humans were made for connection and relationship. We need encouragement, assurance, a listener, support to survive. It's very hard to find that person.

Try to find people you can trust to be there through all things, not just the bad. But when things are going well for you as we'll. Friendship is like experimental cooking. Some are amazing, some fail, some are only good for a short season. Then sometimes you find that recipe that is perfect and you couldn't live without it!!!!!!!
