I have had a day full of blessings. I have been eating and shopping and laughing and visiting with my good friend. We don't really remember when we met, but we grew up in the same church where our parents had been members since the early 1950s. Lest you think, we are 150-years-old, we were toddlers then! We always have lots of memories we share and we remember each other's parents and grandparents. We have buried parents and husbands together. We speak of our faith and are honest with each other. We pray for each other and for each other's children.
How awesome is that!
Especially in the current age, not all of us have opportunities to have decades long friendships, but each of us can be a good friend.
My prayer for us all is this:
Heavenly Father, thank you for our earthly family of birth and choice. Thank you for all the people you send to be fellow traveler's during our lives, people who listen to us, counsel us, share their authentic selves with us and are accepting of our authentic selves. Help me, Lord, to be a good friend and to appreciate my good friends. AMEN
