The saying goes, “If you ain’t with me during the hard times you can’t share the good times.”

But before you amen that statement allow me to challenge it.

I don’t welcome the presence of those who can only be found when you’re down. Life is filled with more good than bad. If they are only around for the difficulties of life, you are not spending enough time together to develop a sustainable connection.

And the value of fair weather friends isn’t much greater. Life is laughter and tears.

True connectedness hinges on the consistency of support through life’s inconsistencies.
