Faithful & True.

Dear Reader,

Do you have those friends who consistently and wholeheartedly show you the love of the Father?

I've been overwhelmed  by His goodness to me through some very-dear ones lately. Life has hit a rough patch, as it does sometimes, and the Lord has been nearer than ever, frequently, through the kindness of my dear friends.

They're the ones who...

...send packages in the mail just to bring a smile to my face
...call and ask the honest questions and just listen
...drive hours out of their way to say hello
...live ten minutes away but send real mail anyway
...fight for me in prayer and wash my soul with scripture
...buy me dinner, and ice cream, just because
...take time off to say hello
...say, "Whatever you need, let's do that."
...walk around the neighborhood with me and recall all the strangest adventures we've been on together  :)
...mean it when they say, "Call me, anytime, day or night, okay?"
...remind me of what's true and real and beautiful

Hey, all of you wonderful friends: I am so thankful for you. This little life of mine is better and more full because I get to share it with you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

(You know who you are.)
