Friendship

Reminded by a friend today to start writing about what I am grateful and thankful for.
So:-
Reading a friend’s heartfelt thanks via Facebook to all her friends reminded me that I too am grateful for all the friends who support me especially in times of hardship.
It was great that I made it on my own to a Lake District trip and glad to meet new folk there who were supportive and understanding and fun to be with.
Glad I have a church community to share with who can empathise with some of my hurts.
I have some friends and family who are always there at the end of a message  - I love them.

Prayed for my mum today as she has still pretty bad stomach pain - she says she knows God is in total control and that He always always hears our prayers but often we are confused about His response or His apparent lack of response

Smiles
