Two Are Better Than One

One more disc golf related story for you this morning. When we go disc golfing, do we head out to the course with only one disc? No! Why not? Well, it's because discs vary. Some are heavier than others. Some are more stable, some less so. They fly differently. They ALL have different uses.

And that's just the discs we use. What about going disc golfing by ourselves. Is that preferred, or is it better to have someone with you?

I am old. My eyesight is failing, my back and my knees are cramping my game. Literally. Yet I still go play once or twice each week. Would it be better if someone went with me? Maybe. Probably. Yes!

We had a clean up event at our local course. We threw a round, picking up sticks as we went. On the last hole I was making my approach shot. The fairway slopes down towards the basket and is strewn with rocks. The footing was awkward and I fell.

"Are you alright?" my playing partner asked. Thankfully I was. But what if I wasn't. How long would I have been lying out there with a broken hip until someone found me? If I would have lost a disc, would I find it quicker by myself, or with someone helping me search?

Also, while we were playing that day, the friend I was playing with confided in me that one of his relatives was struggling in his marriage. I have since included the troubled couple in my prayers. Two ARE better than one.

"⁹Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:

¹⁰If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

¹¹Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?

¹²Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." - Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

And here's something worthy of note. This passage of scripture speaks about TWO being better than one. Up until the last verse when it says, "a cord of THREE strands is not quickly broken." WHO is that third strand?

Who do you think?

"Triples" anyone?
