Two days ago my good friend (you know the type you can talk to about anything and gossip about anyone) moved back home. Yesterday I started getting the flu. Today I feel like a truck ran over me. So I am feeling a bit sorry for myself today...so I am having to reach deep to convince myself that I have something to feel thankful for.
Well, I did, and of coarse I do! Although it is painful to have to say goodbye to friends (you know the type that become like family) I am very thankful that the Lord allowed our paths to cross.
For me to have someone who understood what I was going through with the transition of living in a foreign country.
Someone on who's shoulder I could cry when things became overwhelming.
Someone who would visit with me, bring me coffee, listen to all kinds of chatter and rantings and who shared her family with me.
Thank you Lord for giving me this friend, even just for a short while. I have been blessed to know her. And if I don't see her again on this world I know we will meet again in heaven.
Don't take friends for granted. They are precious like pearls. If you are blessed to have good friends, tell them and appreciate them.
What are you thankful for today...?
