My gift today was for an old friend. I met her at a local restaurant for a glass of wine and then a walk. But, more importantly, my gift of time allowed us to have a real conversation. To catch up on life. To talk about something other than our children. It was really great.
I have known her for over half my life. We have been together through many life events. We have also had our moments where life divided us for various reasons. But the good thing about an old friend is that she knows my history so I don't ever feel like I have to explain anything to her. We can not see each other for several weeks and just pick up where we left off. I appreciate that about her.
So today my prayer of gratitude is for my friend, and for all my friends both old and new that I hold dear. Life would be very lonely without friends.
