“Friends”

“Friends!”  The ones who ask the tough questions.  Those who help to keep us accountable by asking sincere and heartfelt questions...like....”how are you...REALLY...how are you?  Or, “why are you doing what you are doing?”  And, “are you rooted in God’s Word, everyday? And this, “is your journey grounded in Love?  Are you grounded in Love that is about serving because of the Love God has given to you or is about serving for worldly accolades?”  Is your worship about “attendance” - the check off the list weekly “chore?”  OUCH.  The tough questions.  The ones that help us to grow in the best ways.  

My “friends” - family and friend/friends are the glue that holds me together.  They are those God has blessed me with to keep me keepin’ on while walking this journey.  

This first Sunday in Advent.  The coming of our Savior...Jesus!  The One who is coming again to take His children Home.  O come, O Come Emmanuel.  

Thank you Heavenly Father and thank you,  “friends” for helping me “stay the course” as it were.  You make the journey good and help me to prepare my heart, daily, for our Emmanuel’s return.

God knew what we needed on this journey.  So, so thankful.
