I am so blessed and humbled by the beauitful friends the Lord has placed in my path.
Some friends were placed in my life for just a short but pertinent times to guide me onward, or who had Wisdom to share before were called home. Both for whom, I pray for daily, and am very blessed to feel their prays shower down on me, when I am struggling the most.
I am not sure everyone is blessed with friends, who are open to allowing an extraordinary friendship to bloom.
A friendship which is bigger than ourselves.
One that guides us to one another’s side.
Its one that is much bigger than ourselves, as it is a connection of both heart and soul, I feel, can only be something orchestrated by God.
This precious friendship is not self-serving, but selfless friendship given and received for it is an understanding we are in service to another for however short or long a time we are asked to be present to one another.
This unique coming together of two or even a few people allows each person to be present, when one needs them most, and one or the other is called elsewhere, they quietly move from your side to their Faith, Family and Friends elsewhere. Neither is left in despair. No feelings of abandonment, hurt feelings, jealousy or judgement are left behind during the time apart.
This extraordinary friendship has an unspoken understand. An understanding we are there beside one another in thoughts and prayer, no matter how close or far apart we are physically. Its a spiritual gift of support, cheering one another on. It is a gift from the heart, an assurance, knowing, whether we are given the gift to reconnect again here on earth or one day God-willing in Heaven, the meeting will be like we had been walking side by side every day in between for this friendship is connected heart to heart, soul to soul.
The support of these unique, cherished friendships are what has supported me this far in my life, and I am so very humbled and in awe of such gifts of this extraordinary friendship.
I can attest;
“One is only as strong and courageous as those who, in faith and prayer, befriend them.” H.S. DGD 08-27-2023 2:55pm
This testimony is to give thanks to these friends. Thank you for being open to allowing the Lord to direct our extraordinary friendships in such a fluid beautiful organic way.
All Glory and Honor to You, My God Amen ✝️
