Oh, I'm so excited!!! My very bestest friend in the world is coming over today ~ On Good Friday. We used to live close to each other, but her husband's job took her far away a couple of years ago. Now, we only get to spend time together once, maybe twice a year... Today is one of those times. Hurray!
Aren't friends amazing? There is nothing like having someone who loves you unconditionally, exhorts you when you need it, encourages you when you're down... and is there when you need a hug. Someone who really knows you and still like you for who you are. The Lord has blessed me through this friendship.
I pray you all have a friend like this... and if you don't, I pray that the Lord would send you one. They are amazing and something to treasure.
