“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

It was on vacation. Breakfast was cooking and I decided to take a quick ride up the main trail to check out a fallen tree. I wish I could remember the trip! I was by myself and apparently tried to turn around. The next thing I knew, ‘I’ was the one fallen down. Since my head hit a tree, I have reason to not remember.

When I came to I didn’t know WHERE I was or HOW I got there. Trying to stand up…I fell again! So I did the only thing I could do. I started whistling. I was told that a neighbor had heard me for 45 minutes. When my grandson heard me…HE came running. THAT is when I found the Bible verse today more meaningful than ever.

With the help of my sons-in-law, I was brought back safely and the 4 wheeler is fine. That was over 2 weeks ago…and the support group I have experienced from my family, friends and church folks has been incredible. Even my Doctor has pitched in with his professional help. Folks call me ‘Lucky.’ I prefer the term ‘Blessed!’

I’m OK and should be back to normal someday. “Whatever normal is for YOU,” my Doctor friend said. But I am dizzy a lot of the time due to the concussion. “Were you doing something stupid?” several people asked. I reply humbly…”Of course!” Though I don’t know what it was.

Honda had a saying years ago that said, “Stupid Hurts!” I concur. But my life is proof that I do not live in that state very much. I have Loved ones who are nothing but the BEST! Thank you all and THAN GOD!

In these days of closed churches and few in the pews, I am reminded of just how IMPORTANT it is to have people close to you who really care! That is the entire reason Jesus Christ established the Church and gave strict orders for it’s lifeline. ‘STAY CLOSE!’ I concur with His Words now more than ever.

People need people. And I am NOT talking about online over some computer screen. We were made for fellowship and unity. To bond and hold each other CLOSER than a brother. There are promises associated with keeping on that trail. Which is why I would like to take a dizzy moment to remind you that YOU need to be in Christ’s Church. As another old saying goes, “No one of us, have it all together, but all of us together have it all!” And THAT, my friends, is NO ACCIDENT!
