Make a Cord of 3 Strands

Ecclesiastes 4: 12 states:  
"Though one may be overpowered,
   two can defend themselves.
 A cord of three strands is not quickly
    broken."

During this time of uncertainty, you can help yourself feel more secure by making yourself a cord of three strands. Here are the steps:

  1. Choose two friends or family members. (Note, they don’t have to choose each other.)
  2. Contact each person. Ask the person if s/he would like to be a resource for you and if you can be a resource for that person.
  3. Talk to that person every couple of days. See if anything is needed. Reach out if you need something.
  4. Keep in mind, if someone needs something, you can share without giving all that you have. For example, if someone needs toilet paper, you can give one roll, or a half-box of Kleenex, or the scrap paper from your printer (LOL! JK!). If someone needs diapers, you could give 5 or 6 and see if any of your friends with little ones have one or two to spare.
  5. Realize that we all can get by on a lot less than we think.

To have true peace and security, add Jesus to your cord. He is the One strand that cannot be broken. 

John 14:27 says, 
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. 
 I do not give as the world gives. 
 Do not let your hearts be troubled 
 and do not be afraid."
