Friends

Some days I wake up and I'm completely at peace. Yesterday was one of those days. It was quiet and rainy. I curled up in a chair and wrote while my sick husband slept. Today was not one of those days. I went to bed early last night and woke up with the idea of applying for a couple of more jobs in my head, and some other calls to make. I also woke up with worry and a bit of panic. Panic gives way to frenetic and wasted energy and before long I am crying over my keyboard in frustration. It takes the all caps yelling at me of my name in a facebook message to bring me back from the edge of hysteria. JULIE. YOU need to listen to GOD.
Today I am thankful for my friends. I am blessed with many. They have been an endless source of comfort to me throughout this tough year. They have admonished, prayed, talked, given advice, but mostly listened. It occurs to me that in the area of friendship I am a very rich person.
Thank you, Jesus for the friends you have poured into my life. Bless each one of them, daily.
