A true friend is a gift from God
« on: August 10, 2007, 05:56:11 PM »
We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you. —Colossians 1:3

In 1947, Nadia from Bulgaria and Millicent from the United States became pen pals. For years they swapped photos, school experiences, and dreams. Then their letters stopped when government policy banned personal contact with the West.

After many years of political upheaval and change, Millicent, on a whim, sent a letter to the last address she had for Nadia. To their delight, the letter got through. Before long, they discovered that both had married doctors and both collected seashells. Forty-eight years after their first letter, the two friends finally met at Miami International Airport, where Millicent exclaimed, “Nadia! I would know you anywhere!’’

The letters of the apostle Paul overflow with affection and gratitude for his friends. In his letter to the Colossians, he wrote: “We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you” (1:3). His letters also encouraged their walk with Christ (v.10).

Any friendship can be a gift from God. But nothing runs deeper than the relationships of those who share a bond in Christ. In fact, Jesus commanded His disciples: “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). In Him, friendships are treasures that will last forever. —Mart De Haan

Of all the many blessings
That our gracious Father sends,
I thank Him most of all today
For loyal-hearted friends. —Halse

A true friend is a gift from God.

Because the Lord God is pure Love, he graces us with friends we meet in our life. Though they may leave us, they never truly are gone. For the Lord gives and takes. All return to Him.

O Lord, thank you so much for the gifts and the graces that you gave me---my friends----and my family. Lord, who so formed me in my mother's womb---and knew my name before I was even named, salamaat kaayo for the amigos you sent my way---to brighten my day. To keep me on the straight and blessed path.

How Great Thou Art, Lord....
