Friends

We had some good friends over last night. We don't see them often, but we are always able to pick up so easily where we left off weeks, months or even years ago. It was interesting to watch the conversation(s) jump from one topic to another and back again without anyone loosing track or becoming frustrated. We ran the gamut from memories to plans for the future to current events and back. A very comfortable relationship indeed.

It reminded me of a wall plaque that another friend (since school days) gave us one Christmas. I love it and still have it hanging on our wall.

So, for all our friends with whom we have "history" I am posting it's words here. We love you all so much and are thrilled that we have the assurance that we will get to spend eternity together.

What made us friends in the long ago
When first we met? Well, I think I know--
The best in me and the best in you
Hailed each other because they knew
That always and always since time began
Our being friends was part of God's plan.
