It's Five Minute Friday when I link up with Lisa-Jo of The Gypsy Mama. We are given a writing prompt each week. We have five minutes flat to write and that's it. Our word for today is ...FRIEND.
GO
I am so fortunate. I have many friends. I don't take that lightly. Each one is near and dear to my heart in a different way.
I have childhood friends. We go back many years and thanks to Facebook I can still keep in touch to find out what's going on in their lives.
I have friends I met in church. Some have moved so I don't get to see them as often as I like. One is on the mission field far away but I love to see her when she is home on furlough.
I have friends I met through Bible Study Fellowship. We laugh together, pray together and cry together. We've experienced sickness, struggles and even a recent death of one.
I have friends I met through work, past and present.
I have many blogging friends. Some I have met and others I've yet to meet in person.
I have friends who are neighbors.
I have friends who also happen to be my family.
How grateful I am for the gift of friendship. Life isn't easy. Friends make the journey more fun.
Thank you Lord for my friends.
STOP
Blessings and love,
Friends are so precious.

ReplyDeleteDear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI like to think of you as my friend, my Norwegian-American friend, my blog friend, my friend in Jesus and my friend shining light into darkness, helping to stay focused on God's care and innumerable everyday blessings.
I am truly glad to have met you, so much care, wisdom and consideration in every one of your blogs. May you be richly blessed in return for what you are sowing.
Dear Debbie,
ReplyDeletejust wanted to stop by...it's been a long time. This has been a rough three years....(nearly three). But Lord willing, I will graduate May 8. Please pray for me/my family. SO much to tell you, but hardly time to breathe..just had to write and touch base. please pray for us though.
thanks..hope you all are doing okay.
love and hugs and thankful for your friendship over the past few years.
