Friendship's Journey

I am so thankful that I don't travel through this life alone. God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams with some amazing friends, my husband first among them (but this isn't the time to write about him - he needs a post all his own)! Recently, I have been blessed with time with a friend. Since I usually escape for one on one time with friends about never, this has been a very special treat! And such a joy...

When my friend and I went to dinner, it rekindled a friendship once so dear, a friendship I thought I had lost forever. To spend time with this gracious, generous and loving lady, I am totally bummed that we lost a few seasons there. Yet in that time apart, I think God worked on each one of us, growing us and helping us become more of who we are meant to be. It's like we walked parallel roads and now we get to walk together again.

God's a similar kind of friend, except of course, He never leaves, or changes, or needs improvement. He walks with us through life. Sometimes we leave Him, to do our own thing and then return, and He accepts us right where we are. Of course, life is so much better when we don't walk away and choose instead to walk the path with Him. I'm just grateful that when I wander, I can always come back, pick up where I left off, and grow closer to Him!
