Friends are a very important part of my life. I have many friends who I see on a regular basis, many who I only know through Faithwriters, and some from my former days of being in the world.
There is one friend in particular who I see at least twice a week. She and I both share a love for Jesus, and our friendhip was initially based on that rock. It has stood the test of time and she is always there for me through thick and thin. I only have to pick up the phone and should I need her, I know she will come to me as soon as possible. We share the highs and lows of our health, our families and church activites, but most of all we share Jesus. He is the unseen third party at all our meetings.
I was made very much aware of the strength of our relationship this past week. My youngest daughter had to undergo surgery for a hernia. It should have been a simple procedure, but took longer than expected as they had to cut. Noelene was there for me praying that whole day. She was the first to visit me the next day with flowers, from her beautiful garden and chocolates for the patient. Her grandchildren and daughters-in-law love her with a passion as she is just one of those special people.
I pray that our friendship would continue to grow, that we would continually be aware of the third person in our relationship and that I would never let her down.
I love this following passage it is taken from Friendship Therapy by Kass Dottwerweich and John Perry.
"Let the readiance of your friendship pour through each of you like light through a prism. Together you create a rainbow that the world would not otherwise know."
What a beautiful thought. Please God let this be true of our friendship.
