friends

Lord,

I don't understand

Why You've blessed me with such dear friends.

God,

I don't know why You would bless me

with so much love, fun, encouragement...

Thank You for dear ones who walk with me

Thank You for goofy ones who show me different ways of

looking at the world,

Thank You for thoughtful ones who turn my mind towards truth and

living purposefully,

Thank You for many more of these friends.. in so many varieties..


Thank You for best friends who love you no matter what

Who deal with your weakness, your failings, and

How annoying you sometimes are :)...

Thank You for love that is so powerful and "heart-bleaching"--

That is, a heart being transformed with perfect love--

that only comes from those dear, blessed friends.


LORD, won't You make me a good steward of these friends?

Show me how to be a good friend, please!

Amen
