Today I am grateful for my friends.
Our friends
usually fall in categories, those who
are always around to laugh with and talk with, and when call upon is by
your side in a heartbeat. Then there are those who are not always around but
you get a fond hello from time to time, and those who we really don’t see at all because their life
path takes them away from us, and then there are those who even though we do not see them, when we speak
it is as if we picked up from where we
left off, when last we spoke. I have one such friend and she tells me from time to time that even though she does not see me much, she knows she
is in my heart . Believe me, each
category serves its purpose in enriching our lives.
The other day a
former coworker ran across my mind . (we are often encouraged to pray for
people when they run across our minds).. I did not pray this time though, I
looked in my phone book, saw a very old number I had for her and decided to
call her. Turns out, it was her husband who answered. I was so elated because
this means that I would get the chance to speak to my friend. I told him who I
was and he did not hesitate to give me her number. I called her, she knew it
was me instantly and soon remarked how my call had brightened her day. because she
was feeling a bit under the weather, having recently lost her mother, and you
know what, hearing how much I had brightened her day , brightened mine too. I was so happy I made that call.
We seldom tell the
people who are special to us, how much they are
really appreciated and so I am
using this space today to salute all my friends and to give God thanks for each and every one of
them/.
The one who, even
as I pen this post, is being used by God
to enrich my family’s life, in a way that only God himself could have ordained,
I thank you and I am very blessed to have you as a friend.
