I am the kind of person if asked the question - would you rather spend an evening with a whole group of people or with one or two people - I would answer one or two people every time. without a thought. I tend to have close friends and not a lot of them... true friends... fight to the end for friends... And that is why today - when one of my dearest friends called me upset - I was ready to roll. Mother Lion all the way... ~pause for a bit~ But....................... this was not my battle to fight - however, it bothered me all the same... because I know how good a person my friend is.... She is loyal, kind, and to me - a sign of all things good in life...
So to my dear friend - and you know who you are... some people are sandpaper in your life... they are rough and they feel awful... But they too are gifts - consider them traffic cops... they are God's way of guiding you to where you need to be... Offer them up... Know that you don't ever want to be like them... Learn from them... And do everything in your power - to get the heck away from them......
You, my dear friend, are my rock and my inspiration. I thank God each day for bringing you into my life, you are a gift I will treasure for life. I appreciate your words of wisdom and knowing in this, one of my darkest hours, you are a beacon of warmth and light, leads me onward hopefully into the sunshine again. Thank you for being you! I love you.
ReplyDeleteYes, Tracie you are so right . . . sometimes God does allow "sandpaper" in our lives. It is hard to understand the "why" but I do believe there is a reason just like you do. It is God moving us in another direction. I know and love the person who was falsely accused and I know after working with her for four years that she could not be vindictive . . . sometimes those accusing have to make others look "bsd" thinking it will make them look good. But to you and to our friend we know better. Love ya . . .
