We All Need

FRIENDS

Again I saw something here on earth that was useless: I saw a man who had no family, no son or brother. He always worked hard but was never satisfied with what he had. He never asked himself, For whom am I working so hard? Why dont I let myself enjoy life? This also is very sad and useless. Ecc. 4:7-8

A lonely number.

Two people are better than one, because they get more done by working together. 10If one falls down, the other can help him up. But it is bad for the person who is alone and falls, because no one is there to help. 11 If two lie down together, they will be warm, but a person alone will not be warm.12 An enemy might defeat

one person, but two people together can defend themselves; a rope that is woven of three strings is hard to break. Ecc. 4:9-12

A lonely number. A better number. A stronger number.
