Awww sweet visit with your friend. God had a plan for that day for the both of you:). Enjoy your day dear friend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful post and a great reminder to lend and ear and to "really" talk with a friend. God Bless. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like a friend. They seem to know when we need someone to listen, or give a hug, or give us a shoulder to cry on. Life can be overwhelming at times and that is why God gives us each other.

I think we all deal with that from time to time...the struggle of wondering what we are supposed to be doing and what our greatest purpose is. I think the feeling of isolation can be found in a lot of people's lives. I always think of my father saying that you come into this life alone and you go out alone in the end. Thank God we have Him to guide us on our journey in between birth and death. xo Diana
