Sometimes, just making sure enough people on the street have my phone number is a blessing. Justin and John were both looking at a very cold night ahead but another one of our warriors reached out to me. I was able to meet them in a matter of moments with a couple thick blankets to help them through the night. Tonight, I am grateful for the warriors out there who look after the ones struggling.

Like any of us, the reality of life is we need each other to survive. We think we can make it on our own, but thats been the downfall of most strong individuals. Life simply isn't meant to be lived that way. God knew what He was doing when, from the beginning He created a helpmate for Adam. And all throughout the Bible it speaks about going out in groups of two or more. We strengthen each other and give encouragement to the moments of doubt.

I hope more of us can learn this before we face our next moment of tribulation. This world is a lonely place without isolating each other or ourselves any more.

May God continue to bless us one and all...
