Winnie the Pooh, silly willy nilly old Bear! My cousin Brayden was OBSESSED with this Winnie the Pooh tape when he was little. We watched it all the time. And today I was thinking, we can learn a lot from Winnie the Pooh. Such as, don't overindulge. Remember when he ate too much honey and couldn't get out of Rabbit's house? Or that one time Tigger got stuck up a tree and they had to tip the book sideways so that he could get down? Never brag about something you can't do! Do your exercises, Pooh sang a song about that once! Keeps you healthy, and in the mood for food. Or how they stopped going to Rabbit's for a while because he was so fusty (yes that's a word, look it up!). Never let anything come between you and your friends.
On that note, when I think of Winnie the Pooh, the first thing I think of is him and Piglet walking and holding hands. Pooh is all big and bumbling and Piglet is little and clumsy, but they are the best of friends and I love that they just go on with life holding hands and knowing they will never be alone. Pooh would never leave Piglet, not when they are being chased by heffalumps, or when they are stuck in the rain, or when they are being chased by bees. I love that. In life, we have best friends. We have multiple people that have a variety of traits, that all together form some kind of a best friend. Take my best friend for example. She is the butter to my toast and she would never leave me, just like I would never leave her. She has definitely had opportunities and reasons to leave but she never has. When you love someone the way God intends you to love someone, you never separate.
I forget where I saw this picture, in fact I may just have a really vivid imagination BUT. I remember this picture of Jesus walking with a child, holding hands just like Pooh and Piglet. And I realize that God is our best friend. He holds our hands when things are bad and would totally have a sleepover at which you stay up until two am watching twilight or eating sour patch kids. I bet God loves sour patch kids. He has a great sense of humor, and anyone with His kind of funny has to like sour patch kids. Seriously, it's just the law. I wish my Pooh blog was more poignant, but this is all I've got tonight. Love your friends, they are God's way of wrapping His arms around you. Give your bff a hug the next time you see him/her. Tell them how special they are. And you know what? Go make some new friends too. Don't hold grudges or anything in the past against someone, leave behind everything that would make you turn them away. If we turn away friends, we turn away love, and God is Love, so we can't do that. It just isn't right. I'm gonna go eat some honey. Goodnight, God bless, and don't be afraid to hold hands with someone you love.
