True Friend

April 4, 2016

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

God has blessed SOS Events Ministry with many good friends. An example of unselfish friendship is David, who has been working on the SOS property for 10 or more years. He builds all the displays that are used in the ministry, repairs buildings and does maintenance on the office, workshop, printshop and grounds.

More than that, he has become a faithful friend in good times and times of hardship. Saturday morning there was no water. The Curtis home shares the property with the buildings of SOS Events Ministry and there was no one in the office  or on property on the weekend. Carolyn discovered a water leak at the pump and did not know what to do. Tom, recovering from surgery,  could not check it out so Tom called David and he immediately came to the rescue. Within a few minutes he discovered the problem and fixed it.

David may have had plans for the day, he may have wanted to rest or do something for himself but he did not hesitate to come quickly when he was needed. That is true friendship.
