Old Friends
Recently I have had the privelege of reconnecting with some old friends. I don't believe these things happen by accident. God has crossed our paths again for a reason. Maybe just so we'll remember to pray for one another.
Earlier this week my mother told me of a phone call from some family friends that we haven't seen nor heard from in many years. I was so excited to hear about them and so many good memories came flooding into my mind!
Hi Amy!(wave) I remember how much we used to laugh together! I can't wait to get together and visit soon!
Today while shopping at my favorite little health food grocery I ran into another old friend whom I haven't seen in a year? She suffered the loss of her husband a couple of years ago...also a friend to myself and my husband. Thankfully the Lord is so good and has taken her and her little son down His own path for her life...with many adventures yet to come!
Hi Tracey! (wave) Your smile always brightens my day. I can't wait to hear what great things God does in your life! Thank you for trusting God so completely and being such a testimony of God's grace. You are truly an inspiration to me.
Sooo, I've been pondering friendships the last few days and marveling over God's provision of encouragement and fellowship when we need it most...
Here's a poem I found that expresses some of my heart about friends:

Old Friends
There’s hearts filled with laughter
and eyes moved to tears
with memories so vivid
transcending the years
the words of compassion
and actions so kind
the sun smiles down, when
old friends come to mind
I’ve counted my blessings
I’ve counted my blessings
and shuffled my dreams
and sang to the music
of deep forest streams
searching for places the light always shined
like deep in my soul, when
old friends come to mind
I count you among
I count you among
all the guides on the path
who loved me and taught me
to dream and to laugh
when I reach my heaven
I know that I’ll find
this heaven was built
