God always knows

OK, I'll admit it. Last night I was feeling rather blue. The problems with the printers for 3 days; plus thinking of Andrew no longer being in my school soon; plus feeling slighted by someone whom I thought really cared about me all added up to tears at bedtime. Then this email came from a new friend--one of my BodyTalk clients who just happened to grow up in Eureka too. She ought to know how hard it gets at times dealing with all that Eureka throws at you. I truly believe that, if ever there were a hell on earth, it would be Eureka, SD. Many people who grew up there have horrible scars from the sin that runs rampant in those stubborn, unsubmissive-to-God hearts. Praise the Lord, though, He can heal all of our wounds when we run to Him for help. Sometimes He even has a friend send poetry, which speaks a language all it's own. Thanks a million, Gwen! May He surround you with friends always!

CHERISHED FRIENDS

God must have known there would be times

we’d need a word of cheer,

Someone to praise a triumph

or brush away a tear.

He must have known we’d need to share

the joy of “little things.”

In order to appreciate

the happiness life brings.

I think He knew our troubled hearts

would sometimes throb with pain,

At trials and misfortunes,

or goals we can’t attain.

He knew we’d need the comfort

of an understanding heart

To give us strength and courage

to make a fresh, new start.

He knew we’d need companionship,

unselfish…. lasting…. true,

And so God answered the heart’s great need

with Cherished Friends…. like you!!
