So, I'm back. We were blessed with visitors from the snowy Northern regions on Saturday, hence the lack of entry. It was wonderful to reconnect and fellowship with good friends.
A true friend is a treasure. They lift you up when you are down, correct you when needed, forgive your foibles, and rejoice with you on the hilltops. They love you at your best and your worst. If you have such friends count yourself blessed indeed for they are gifts from GOD.
So every once in a while let them know they are appreciated. Friendship, like all other worthwhile relationships, involves sacrifice. Your friend has had to deal with you when you haven't had your coffee, just got chewed out by your boss, or lost a family member. They spend time with you when you are sick. They love you even when you take the last chocolate chip cookie. So give them a hug and say thanks for being there.
It wouldn't hurt to say thanks to GOD too. HE's the best friend you will ever have and HE loved you even before you were born. We often don't take enough time to say a simple thanks. We'll remember to ask for things, sure. But GOD like ourselves loves to be appreciated.
