The richness of friendship...

My favorite prayer is to thank God that this is my life and to ask that those words will move me 50 years from now as much as it does today. Sometimes when I pray that, I can’t stop the grateful tears from streaming down my face.

In case you think I am crazy, I was not looking to find a real God a few years ago but He was looking for me. Through a series of events that I can only explain by attributing it to divine intervention, my life now is so full that I can’t hardly believe that it is mine and this is just the beginning.

I think about this a lot but I thought about it almost every second of this weekend. Some would say that true friendship is hard to come by but I seem to have an overabundance of wonderful people in my life.

I spent the whole weekend knee deep in some thought provoking conversations and some conversations that made my cheeks hurt from laughing so much. I haven’t laughed that much in a long time.

I have seen some pretty amazing things happen over the last year that will not allow me to ever deny the existence of a real God but this weekend reminded me that he cares about all things in my life, including the desire for some really great friends.

So let’s tip our glasses to great friends that make your brain work and your cheeks hurt. If you don’t have friends like this, get out there and get some because it is not worth missing.
