Comaraderie

Craig Groeschel has a great chapter in his book about camaraderie. You need to enjoy ‘It’ With Others

Ministries that have it enjoy it together. They have an unmistakable camaraderie.

People with friends at work are 96 percent more likely to be extremely satisfied with their life. Happier people make better team members.

The team with it loves each other. Not only do they minister together, they do life together. What they have is more than friendship. It’s something that God gives – more of a partnership of people with deep love committed to a single mission. You’re more than friends. You’re a team.

We need to make sure there are people close to us who have refrigerator rights. What are refrigerator rights? Someone with refrigerator rights is a person who is so trusted they can walk into your home, open your refrigerator and help themselves to a sandwich and a drink.

Teams with it look for excuses to celebrate. Anniversaries, completion of significant projects. Ministry launches. Personal victories.
Oprah Winfry said, “the more you praise and celebrate your life the more in life there is to celebrate.

I thought this was a great challenge, especially the idea of refrigerator rights.
