Giving thanks for old friends. NO! I don’t mean the aged. I mean long-term. Those who endure me for years on end. I am ultra blessed that there are many souls who have met me and still call me friend years later. Sometimes, even their husbands find me tolerable. Shocking!
I pray that you too have friends new and old in your life – no matter their age.
I give thanks for humor. In 2006, I was downsized from work. To say the least, I was down in the dumps. In order to cheer me up, a friend took me to the dump! Ironic, right?
It was one of the best days I’ve ever had with her and her family. Her mom, her daughter, and I joined her on a trip to the dump where her family works. I got a tour of the whole shebang! After, we stopped for a little shopping and ice cream at the Sugar Bear in Paw Paw.
When you’re down in the dumps, you might find the dump refreshing.
I don’t look quite this bad.
At the end of the day, I am still gainfully employed (today anyhow).
At the end of the day, my horns don’t show.
At the end of the day, I have some of the most treasured friends a body could have.
At the end of the day, my hair is not neon green.
At the end of the day, the love of the Lord is in my heart (most of the time I act like it too).
At the end of the day, I get to walk on carpet and not sharp stones.
At the end of the day, there is much to be thankful for.
YOU are the news now...
