Friends - God's way of taking care of us

A few weeks back I met up with some friends for coffee.
It was lovely catching up especially with those that I hadn't seen in about 4 years. It was interesting looking back to those days, the school days; the fun and the not so fun times. It was fascinating listening to the things that are happening in their lives and in the lives of some other friends, classmates etc.

I got back home and thought to myself, "wow! that was nice, and I should do this more often." I don't know if it is just me or something but life feels a bit too packed up with lots of stuff to do that there isn't time or the guts to do some more refreshing things. With each day that passes I keep feeling like I am getting disconnected from people. Not good, not good at all.

And yet  I must say that people have such a great impact on our lives. Well, really without them life would be quite... .... I don't know .... meaningless?!  I think.  They bring light to our miserable days and hold our hands when we are struggling and bring sunshine to an already shinning day ;). Ok. Fine. Some of these human beings are the kind you'd want to fling through a window but everyone I believe is special. I believe that there is an angel in everybody, sometimes it's just that you have to dig so hard to find that angel.

Well, I am grateful for all the people in my life; family, friends, strangers etc coz each of you/them has not crossed my path by mistake. It was for a purpose. It might be for just a season or a life time; whichever it is, I'm grateful for the time spent with you and the lesson learnt from you.

Did I mention being too busy to meet up with people, well me thinks sometimes I am just being too lazy. Lord forgive me.

....but friends are truly a gift from above.......
