We thought a storm was coming when we woke up this morning. The sky was dark. But the storm clouds disappeared and we had a nice cool day instead. So we went to see some old friends. There is a saying which goes
"Make new friends but keep the old
Those are silver these are gold."
David our grandson on his way to University called for us and gave us a lift to Lorong Sarhad. We visited our good friend Jessie who just had a hip replacement. Her husband Francis had gone with the youngest son Melvin who today entered national service. More than 30 years ago we conducted the wedding of Jessie and Francis. Just last year we attended their daughter's wedding.
Jessie and Francis worship with us in the same church. They attend the Adult Bible class every Sunday morning and always make meaningful contribution. They are a real encouragement and inspiration to us.
Daily we thank God for friends who have contributed so much to our lives.
"True friends are the finest of all God's gifts,
They are precious and very rare.
They come with love that laughs and lifts
When the burdens are hard to bear.
They are true when the sun is ablaze in the skies,
When life is bright and fair,
When sorrow or pain has dimmed your eyes,
There's compassion and tenderness there." Lorie C Gooding.
