A college student spent a year living with a group of Navajo Indians as part of his doctoral studies program. As he did his research, he lived with the members of a Navajo family, sleeping in their hut, eating their food, working with them, and living as a 21st century Indian. The old grandmother of the family spoke no English, and the student knew no Navajo, but a close friendship developed between the two. They spent a great deal of time together. Despite the language problems, they shared a common understanding of love and friendship. Over the months they learned a few phrases from each other. Finally, the time arrived for the student to return to the college and write his thesis, so the tribe held a going-away celebration. The next day, as he prepared to get into his pickup truck and leave, the grandmother came to tell him good-bye. With tears in her eyes, she said, "I like me best when I'm with you." You are with the Lord when you are doing His Will; following His example; living according to His teachings; devoting yourself to His ministry of loving service. This is what brings genuine joy into your life. This is what makes it possible for you to say, "Lord Jesus. I like me best when I'm with You." And when you are with Jesus in this way, you may even hear your spouse or your child or your parent or your friend say to you, "I like me best when I'm with you!"
