I stopped by a new coffee shop, The Braided Cord Coffee & Book in Clemmons. As soon as you walk into the shop, you'll see posted a reference to Ecclesiastes 4:12. I was curious, so I looked it up:
"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." (New Living Translation)
Sounds like hand-to-hand combat - in a coffee shop? Hmm, need more research! Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, explains:
"In all things union tends to success and safety, but above all, the union of Christians. They assist each other by encouragement, or friendly reproof. They warm each other's hearts while they converse together of the love of Christ, or join in singing his praises. Then let us improve our opportunities of Christian fellowship."
A ha! Coffee, ice cream, books, background music, comfortable seats, a peaceful patio - it all adds up to Christian fellowship. While you're soaking up some Vitamin D from the rays of sun beaming onto the patio, you can enjoy some Vitamin C - Christian fellowship.
What vitamins do you get from your favorite coffee shop?
