Friend's Birthday, Mixed Joy ❤️
Finding time for bonds that feed you! ✨
Scripture For Today: "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity."
True friends see us through all life's turns.
You mark her birthday on your busy list, torn between quick text and rare lunch out.
Perhaps you feel both glad for such a friend and sad for how life pulls you from these key bonds.
Like your effort to keep friends close,
St. Hesychius kept strong ties with his friend St. Gregory through years of letters when miles kept them apart.
Friend time feeds your soul.
Old bonds need new care.
Today's Prayer: Friendship's Gift
In the rush of each full day,
When friend time gets pushed away,
Help me see with clear, true sight,
How these bonds bring life and light.
Give me time to tend with care,
To the hearts my life helped bear,
Let me pause and reach a hand,
To the friends who help me stand.
Lord who gives us friend-shaped love,
Bless these bonds sent from above.
Amen.
