“Now I know you are a man of God and the Lord’s word from your mouth is true.”
~1 Kings 17:24b, HCSB~
Thankfulness: Day 9
Today, I’m thankful for friends – childhood friends, co-workers, former teachers, former students, church friends, neighborhood friends, etc. Each of you have a special place in my heart. You help to make me who I am and are there for me when I “need a friend”. I hope I have been as good of a friend to you as you have been to me.
