True Friends

 

Friday morning at cardiac rehab, I was having trouble keeping my earbuds in place.  I felt like I was drilling them into my ears.  I was just getting started on the elliptical machine when the right one popped out, tumbled to the floor, and rolled under the machine.  Bummer.  I stepped off (lost a minute of precious exercise time) and knelt down looking for the thing.  Then I heard voices of alarm.  I looked up to see what was going on, and saw two people rushing to me!  They thought I had fallen off the machine and was having a medical emergency!  I assured them that I was fine showing the earbud in my hand explaining what had happened.  I said, “At least I know who my friends are!”  The one man was a recovering heart patient and I apologized for alarming him.  We both had a good laugh.  Hey, when you have a “spell”, do you have folk who will come to your rescue?  Proverbs 17:17, “A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”  I have many “brothers who are born for adversity.”  And I know that I do, because there are many who comment or click on my posts.  But even if you don’t, I would still come to your rescue.  Probably.
