Recently a very dear friend of mine died. Her daughter gave me a couple of her cookery books to look at and see whether I wanted to keep them or pass them on to someone else. Inside one of them I found a bookmark with a very touching verse on it. It said:
“A Friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are.”
Friends are so important in our lives and sometimes we don’t tell them that until it’s too late. Gina and I enjoyed many cups of coffee and chats over the years since we became friends. I miss her terribly but I was blessed in that we were able to say our goodbyes shortly before she died.
Thank you Lord for our friends. For their care, advice and laughter which we will never forget and never stop appreciating.
