friends

Friends are one of God's special gifts and I ought to treasure them more than I do.    We had lunch today with two dear friends who were a strong part of our fast.   We have laughed, cried and prayed together.   Now that our time is spent in different parts of the country, we don't share as many of those moments.      One thing that I have discovered and truly appreciate is that when meeting up with a person, after a long absence,  who is sincerely a friend,  we can pick up right where we left off without any awkwardness.     Ben and Barbara are that brand of friends.          No photo - of course I took my camera along - just didn't remember to get a picture taken.        I will let you know when I can no longer walk and chew gum at the same time. :}
