Value in Friendships
God has blessed me with many valuable friendships over the years. Some through Child Evangelism Fellowship, others through Word of Life, and of course the usual places like church, neighbors, family friends, etc. Unfortunately I'm not always great at staying in touch with everyone so it's a special treat when I get to spend time with friends I have not seen in years.
Last weekend I was able to see a friend I met in January of 2013 through CEF. When I knew her years ago she was single, last weekend I met her husband and two precious kids. Niko (7 months) fell asleep in my arms and Milo (2 years) kept asking me to read books to her. My friend and I were able to spend time together, share life updates, and re-live memories from years ago. We were also able to see two other friends from 2013 and I know we were both encouraged by the little reunion.
On Thursday I was able to see another friend from Word of Life who I had not seen in three years. Though our time was short, we were able to enjoy each other's company and I was able to catch up on her news. I am thankful for her friendship and what she has meant to me over the years.
A huge thanks to both of you for all you have done for me over the years. Thank you for letting me spend time with you, I have truly been blessed and encouraged.
My time left in the U.S. is short. I leave January 8, about four months from now. While my time is filled with working, raising support, spending time with family, church, and preparing to move to Africa (medical, visas, paperwork, etc) spending time with friends is a valuable.
