I've had my close circle of friends many years now, decades in some cases. We don't get a chance to spend the kind of time we used to, because of life's directions, our jobs, our family responsibilities, and the like. This past weekend, my best friend's son turned 4 years old, and a bunch of us got together, after what seemed like forever. And my friends echoed my sentiments as we had a chance to chat, catch up, and talk. "I miss you guys" was the sentence of the day. There is a calm comfort, and sense of being home, a feeling of trust you get from your close friends that is rare these days. I'm my own man, all the time, but when I'm with my close friends, I can let my guard down completely, knowing that whatever I see, whatever my condition is, whatever life takes me, my friends will love me and be there unconditionally. That's the way I have lived my life, with "Unconditional Love". We chatted for just a few hours, but it was priceless to me, and I miss my friends and the unlimited time we used to spend together greatly. I appreciate those days, and the friendships we've built over the years, more than I can imagine.
I pray for you, my friend reading this, that you may be blessed with the joy and privilege of true friendship, that people in and through your life can give you the compassion and kindness that we all yearn for. May God Bless you today and every day.
