Today I got to celebrate my friend's birthday. We have been friends since our boys were in preschool together- over 15 years ago! Until she moved 14 months ago, we met for lunch almost every week. That's a lot of lunches, but more importantly, that's a lot of time to share a lot of things! We have both gone through a lot of changes in those years. And, through them all, we've been able to lean on each other.
I believe that God puts people in our lives to be His hands and feet- to do the work He needs done. The beauty of our friendship is that there is no doubt that God put us in each others path. And, sometimes she is His hands and feet and sometimes I'm His hands and feet. There is no keeping score, no drama, no disagreements. I am so blessed by the friends God has put in my life. And, even though we're now far away, when we are together it's as though there was never any time apart.
So, today was a wonderful day of celebrating her life, of laughing, of pampering, and enjoying our friendship. As I was leaving, we were talking about her birthday weekend rather than just one day. Being silly, we changed it to a month and then decided a birthday year would be great. She then remarked that it didn't seem like such a bad idea to celebrate our lives every day! And, I think she's right. We should celebrate each day for the blessing each new day brings.
So, where was God today? He was enjoying a celebration with us!
