Weekly Bible Verse

"A friend loves at all times." (Proverbs 17:17 )

What a comfort it is to be physically or emotionally embraced by a dear friend. As I reflect upon the friends I have made during my life's journey, a sense of warmth, camaraderie, and unconditional love envelops me. I value being a friend to others as much as having friends.
Some of my friends are near in location; others are near in spirit. The realm of my imagination captures the image and voice of each cherished friend, and I thank God for each and every one of them.

I reflect on cherished attributes that make my friends the loving, unique people they truly are. Feelings of love, healing, and gratitude enfold me. I experience the sense of hope and energy that friends bring me. In a spirit of gratitude, I embrace them in my thoughts and prayers.

Cindy and Sandra, I especially want you to know even though I have been lousy at contacting you, I do think of you often. I love you.
