"Friendship is acting out God's love for people in tangible ways. We were made to represent the love of God in each other's lives, so that each person we walk through life with has a more profound sense of God's love for them. Friendship is an opportunity to act on God's behalf in the lives of the people that we're close to, reminding each other who God is. When we do the hard, intimate work of friendship, we bring a little more of the divine into daily life. We get to remind one another about the bigger, more beautiful picture that we can't always see from where we are." - Shauna Niequist, "Cold Tangerines"
The last few days, I have been thinking a lot about all of my friends and family. I am blessed to have so many and such great ones...in Leesburg, Grand Rapids, Marion and pretty much all over the globe right now! Thank you, friends, for representing God's love, for reminding me of who God is, and for being a very beautiful part of my life!!!
I LOVE YOU BEST FRIEND!!!!
