Friends

Friends came over today and I loved being with them. 3 generations during this visit and it was sweet! OM goodness I actually forgot to take pictures!!! :-( They made me realize how grateful I am to many of you for your presence in my Life). You are NO MISTAKE! Your a masterpiece created by the CREATOR who blessed me with YOU!

Anyway I am so glad that my visit with my friends today was not like the friends I have been reading for my daily reading lately. Jobs' friends . . . wow were they harsh. I am reading in the New Living Translation and I am amazed at . . . well their forthright attitudes. It almost breaks my heart. Sure there are qualities they bring up about the Lord however, they also just show their human error.

I enjoy my friends. We laugh together, share one another's joys as well as burdens, some have been around to see my children born and others to be there when one went to be with the Lord, some shared practical jokes, as well as my shared prayers, and some have come to know the Lord Jesus Christ through our lives with one another. There are those whom I've known for many years and others whom have just entered my life and they all are important. Some know me quite well (YIKES ;-} ) and others whom are just getting to know me. Some have known me most of my life and see where I've come from ;-( before I knew Jesus and others who've known me after Jesus. Some have the joy of sharing in our yet new beginning again with "HaSa" through all these steps of my life I am grateful for my friends. I even married my dearest friend :-) (Love You B!) Friends - are family and Family are friends - They/YOU are a part of who I am - so Thank You~!
