Make a Friend, Be a Friend, Bring your friend to Christ

My recent post, The Rub, made me think about a song we often use on Via de Cristo retreat weekends — “Shake a Friend’s Hand.”  Part of the weekend message is that we influence people for Christ only when we are willing to become a friend.  We have to rub against them in a tangible way.  This song is a childish one that is often used on Saturday evening when we’ve all become tired and a bit silly.  However, it expresses the theme well.  Enjoy it and become childish in a good way, by accepting everyone you meet as a possible friend.
