I have been blessed to share parts of other people’s lives with them, sometimes for months, sometimes for years. Many people have said they were my friends, but few I actually would call friends. There are a few who will always be in my heart and have been a very influential part of my life.
My teenage friend, was my soul sister. This young lady taught me things about life that I had never thought of learning. She was my voice of reason and my angel. Unlike some smarter than I in the Bible, I ignored my angel and she went away. I followed the wide path, and she the more narrow. I miss her terribly and wish if I could change one part of my teenage years, it would be that I would have told her how much I loved her.
I have had many “friends” since her, but none that can compare. None that truly cared for me just for me. Not for what I could give them or do for them, just for me. I thank God for the small window of time I got to have her in my life and want to say (if she reads this), that I am sorry I didn’t listen.
Now some friends you share time and space with and some you simply share time with. Another friend is a man that I will most likely never physically meet. Through “social networking” we met. Completely different backgrounds, completely different people. I just feel a kinship with him. Like the awesome brother or uncle or…I don’t know just awesome. He has a beautiful wife and a beautiful family and his words of kindness have brightened many of my days. He is wise and a devoted father and husband. I know we are destined to be friends a long time for no other reason then that his wife and I share the same favorite movie.
God places people in your life for a reason. There is nothing in your world that is coincidence. Take note of your surroundings, be thankful for the people in your life.
God bless you both.
