Classmates




A month ago I joined "Classmates" what a trip to find out "whatever happened to" ... Some I'm surprised by or disappointed in, Some are characters I'd be afraid of in a dark alley! Some live for the Lord, Most are close enough geographically to meet for lunch. All are in my prayers!

Not one of these new found 'friends' have been on the trip I've called life; the best of friends are those I've met since leaving high school; and can count the truest of the true on one hand. While childhood and high school led me across more paths than my adulthood has, they're superficial acquaintances that didn't impact my soul - what a shame - being that there are so many!

One might think a 30-year 'acquaintance' would somehow bring something to your life but they rarely do. That's why friends are the of greatest of God's gifts. John cautions us to love our friends and treat them as children of God. Great friends become family; guardian angels in disguise - always watching out for you. Great friends are those you don't hesitate to call whenever you need something and they feel blessed to help! They are at the top of your own list of blessings. Great friends are rare jewels in life -- difficult to find and impossible to replace.

For those I can count as friend: "Beloved, let us love one another" John 4:7.
For those I've yet to meet, "No man crosses paths with the other without previous appointment" Amos 3:3.

Your Friend and
Sister in Christ ~~
