The Book of Sirach Ch Six v- 14 thru 17

14 Faithful friends are a sturdy shelter; whoever finds one finds a treasure. 15 Faithful friends are beyond price, no amount can balance their worth. 16 Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; those who fear God will find them. 17 Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship, for as they are, so will their neighbors be.

This was one of the Scriptures we chose for our wedding. Hard not to write about the thoughts and emotions we felt when we both came full circle in a relationship of prayer. You see we both prayed for one another before we met. Asking the Lord for Divine grace in a spouse seeking to share Salvation as the joy of being married as One. If you read through Scripture, the Lord tells us to become one with our Spouse. Two people become one in the Lord’s Truth and seek to accomplish all in Him. We call it living for God First reminding the world that all else will fall into place guaranteed. Why we joined names as one to show our love of God in all things. Today we share the Birth of our Lord as a baby knowing as the Three Wise Men that He was the Savior of the world. Everything about todays Scripture describes my soul-mate in Christ Jesus Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. Merry Christmas my love. My song today completes us as One in Christ Jesus. I hope others find their way to Heaven by calling on God First knowing His Redemption firsthand. Amen.

Faithful Friend Sturdy Shelter

In this journey of life, through highs and lows,

There's a treasure so rare, a friendship that grows,

Like a shelter so sturdy, it stands firm and tall,

Through thick and thin, it never lets us fall.

Faithful friends, like a shelter so strong,

They're beyond price, they'll never steer us wrong,

In times of need, they're our guiding light,

Together we'll face every challenge, with all our might.

Through storms and hardships, they're always there,

A comforting presence, showing they care,

In laughter and tears, they lend a helping hand,

A bond so precious, we'll forever understand.

Faithful friends, like a shelter so strong,

They're beyond price, they'll never steer us wrong,

In times of need, they're our guiding light,

Together we'll face every challenge, with all our might.

And as we journey on, we find something divine,

A love so pure, a union so fine,

For God becomes our spouse, our eternal guide,

In every moment, walking right by our side.

With God as our spouse, we'll never be alone,

A love so profound, in our hearts it's known,

Through faith and devotion, we'll forever abide,

In God's embrace, our souls will forever reside.

Faithful friends, like a shelter so strong,

They're beyond price, they'll never steer us wrong,

In times of need, they're our guiding light,

Together we'll face every challenge, with all our might.

So let us cherish these faithful friends we find,

And let God be our spouse, the love of Divine

With friendship and faith, we'll conquer life's quest,

With sturdy shelter and God's love, we're truly blessed. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for a little boy named David Alexander. Praise God thank You Jesus. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

**Treasure find friend divine**

Shelter sturdy friend faithful

Treasure find friend divine

No price equals tasteful

Worth theirs eternally sublime

They are medicine for saving life

God fearing friends challenge strife

The Lord fear creates stable friends of grace

There also neighbors without haste
