This is Butters, Bryan's puppy that was kept, chasing Abraham and playing with his tail. Having fun and sticking together in joy.

Mom said last week that we all need to stick together. Take care of each other and stick together. We are family. It was like she was giving some ancient advice built through the years and out of the wisdom of age. Sometimes we chase each other, bite each other's tails. Sometimes it's in fun. Sometimes it's in retaliation for some hurt feelings. Sometimes we are just plain mean to each other. Most of the time it's just because we are playing. We need to stick together. We have known each other throughout life. Yet through life we change. God changes us. We also need to celebrate the change. See God's active hand in the growth of each other. Stick together and help each other grow together in Christ. Ruth and Naomi stuck together. The result was the fulfillment of the lineage to David and on to our Messiah Jesus. Ruth and Naomi stuck together through some tough times. Both had lost their husbands and both had to make a move. Ruth and Naomi stuck together. God adopts us as His children. Makes us members of this same family of faith from Abraham on and including Jesus. God stuck together with us too. He sent Jesus who took on our sin and saved all of us from death. Jesus stuck together with us. We need to stick together. Take care of one another. Mom, was right as usual. In her wisdom comes eternal advice from God. We need to stick together. Stick together and take care of one another. After all, Jesus took care of us and saved us all from death. We need to stick together.

Unite in the Spirit and grow together in Me. And stick together.

Lord, I hear Your Word ---I choose to stick together---take care of one another---unite in Your Spirit and grow in You. ---Amen
