A couple days ago I was looking through things on social media and I ran across a video that is heartwarming and deeply touching.  It is a video about a 3 year old little boy and a 98 year old man.  They live next door to one another.  You can watch the video here.  Get some facial tissues ready.  I promise you will need them.

The reason this struck me is the unlikely friendship that was created.  Even the parents speak about how priceless the bond between their young son and the elderly man next door.  This man next door is a WWII veteran.  He seems like a man I would love to know.

They are shown playing in the yard together.  My favorite part is where they “race” their John Deere’s against one another.

I think the Word of God says it all in Proverbs 18:24, “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

Take an inventory today.  Do you have many friends?  I hope you are blessed with many friends.  If you find yourself without friends the place to start is to look within yourself and see if you are worth having as a friend.  This is a sobering thought to me, I know.

So, how are you doing?
