Old cars are like old friends. We have a 1999 Buick Century, that I call my green "Cherry Bomb." We've owned it for almost all the 220,000 miles it has on it. It's more dependable than our newer car. As I was cleaning the inside of it out yesterday I was remembering all the wonderful people that have rode in that car, and the conversations we've had. Isn't it amazing how God puts different people in our lives at just the time we need them most?
Some people we have for just a season. Others are like that old car, I know they're there for me, regardless of the storms, or sunny days in my life. I have a handful of friends from way back in my grade school days that I love like sisters. I hope they know they can always count on me to pray for them and love them through eternity. Miles and years have come between us, but our love, friendship and ties in God unite us forever.
I'm thankful God has blessed me with good friends. Love really does make life happier and sweeter! Whether your an old friend, or new friend, I appreciate the time God has given us together. I appreciate you.
"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24 (NIV) Jesus does stick closer than a brother!
"Love each other as I have loved you. greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:12 (NIV)
