Friends

Friends. They are the treasures of life. Oh, I know that we are all broken and imperfect but look past that for a moment. Think about your friends. Where would you be today without them? I know probably not here writing this blog... I have friends that have added so much to my life that "thank you" and "I love you" are words that seem so inadequate. Friends bring joy, wisdom, laughter, love, and honesty. They look past your faults and see who you can be.

And as I was reading this morning, guess what the Word was....
1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

Footnote: In verse 2, oil that covered was consecrating (making him sacred in His eyes) Aaron. Sisterly :-) harmony sanctifies God's people. In verse 3-the dew that fell on Hermon was a profuse dew. If it fell on Mt Zion, it would make it richly fruitful. So sisterly unity makes us richly fruitful!

And oh how it does! I have been touched by the lives of my friends, so that I am able to go out and add fruit to others. So let me say "Thank you" and "I love you" to my friends. I thought about naming them but I would leave somebody out.....

So go tell your friends today how much you love them and treasure them, I know I will!! :-) Have a great day!
