Importance Of Brotherhood Essay

Decent Essays
Brotherhood is a bond that is shared with two or more people, in this case John and I. Brotherhood is described in the dictionary an association, society, or community of people linked by a common interest, but forming a real brotherhood with someone who does not share many common interests as you is difficult. The closest bonds I have with all my best friends have been through times where they have seen me at my worst, shared in my suffering, and had each other for support. These friendships are the way they are today because we shared time together during difficult processes, and by sharing that struggle, we are so much closer than we were before. Process has been one of the most difficult things I have ever done, and I am incredibly blessed have the opportunity and privilege to grow with and watch someone grow closer in their bond with God. Brotherhood is important because it allows us …show more content…

“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” (Proverbs 17:17). It will be easy to quit, it will be easy to give answers and continue to have a surface level relationship. But for process to ever bear any fruit, enjoying the brother I have been given will make the entire process so much sweeter. In Psalm 133:1 it says “How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity.” Dwelling in unity is not an easy process because it forces you to be around a person who is very different from you, who shares different interests, ideas, and viewpoint. But dwelling in this unity is so good and pleasant because you get to share so much with each other and by going through the everyday struggles of life your bond with each other grows each

    I never had any brothers, but I remember that I always wanted an older or younger brother because as much as I love my older sister, it is not the same bond as one would have with a brother. I’ve had many friends who I refer to as brothers or “bro” but it’s become a word that’s easily thrown around at the simplest interactions. However, I see the relationship that the brothers of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity, Inc. have and I can instantly tell that the word brother has meaning to it. They have history, bonds, and experiences that have solidified a brotherhood. I want to share that too.…

    My Strengthsfinder Survey

    Upon completing the StrengthsFinder survey, it is determined my 5 greatest strengths are the learner, achiever, competition, strategic, and relator, all of which I expected (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). While reading the text I examined the various themes of different strengths, relating closely to the 5 assigned by the survey, I am impressed by how well the explanations were written in the book, Strengths Quest Second Edition. The text in correlation with the materials provided from the StrengthsFinder survey brought forth meaning and depth into finding out exactly the type of person I am. Learning is listed as my top strength in the survey (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006). I believe I have used that trait extensively throughout…

During this Session Long Project I will give examples of fraternization, and I will recommend the business decision my command should take regarding fraternization.
