A LOVE LETTER TO MY BROTHERS
A man was drinking with his father. As they talked about life and adulthood the father said,“Never forget your brothers! They will become very important over time. No matter how much you love your wife, or your children, you’re going to need your brothers!” “Remember when I speak of your “(Brothers)” I mean ALL men who are attached to you.”
“Sometimes you must contact them, perhaps go out with them, do things with them, because someday you will need them!” The brother locked those words inside him. He kept in touch with his Brothers. Over the years he made many friends. Some came, some went, but over time he understood what his Father meant. The World, Time, Nature and Life presents their changes and mysteries in a mans life, but your true Brothers always remain. After all of the years that I have lived on this earth, I have learned that:
- Time goes by.
- Life happens.
- Children grow up.
- Distance separates.
- Passion decreases.
- The heart breaks.
- Our parents die.
- Favors are forgotten.
*Jobs come and go. - Careers do end.
BUT….Your Brothers are always there, no matter the distance between you. A Brother is never too far away to be reached. When you have to walk through a lonely valley and have to do it for yourself, the Brothers of your life will be around you, encourage you, pray for you, push you, intervene for you, and wait for you with open arms at the end of the road.They will walk by your side… or even carry your load.
Grandfathers, Fathers, Brothers Grandsons, Nephews, Cousins, Uncles, Fathers-in-law, Brothers-in-Law, and Friends…They are all your “Brothers” and they are God’s blessing in life!
Send this on to the “Brothers” who continue to give meaning to your life. Amen…
“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” Proverbs 17:17
