Old Friends

A few days ago I got a phone call from an old friend. It was a guy I went to school with. I had not talked to him for probably 8 years or better. It was so nice to hear from him. We talked about the good old days and took a long stroll down memory lane. He said something that should not have surprise me, but I admit that it did a little. He said he always admired me and strived to be more like me. He said he could see christ through me. That really blessed me because that is what we should all be striving to achieve. Its always been my prayer that people see christ through me. It was so great to hear that in my life I have done something to glorify the lord. I pray that I continue to meet that goal of mine. I hope that christ's love shows through me in all things I do. I know that I don't always hit that goal. Many times I end up way out in left field. But at least I have the assurance that I have hit that mark a few times in my life. I just pray that I hit that mark more often than not. God Bless you Shawn. You were a real blessing to me.

Shawn also praised the fact that God brought Sheila into my life. I have rejoiced in that as well many times a day. I thank God every day that he brought me such a perfect match as he did. Only God could have brought the two of us together. I know without a doubt that his hand was in it from the very beginning.

Shawn also said he remembered how he would sometimes get upset with me and go home. Only to find me standing at his door step several mins later. He never could understand how I could be so forgiving so quickly. How I never got mad. I told him that I get mad all the time. I just don't show it. Maybe my quickness to forgive has something to do with ADHD, but I tend to think that it is no more than a blessing given to me straight from God. What ever it is, I just hope that I never loose that quality. It's very hard for us (well me anyway) to find good qualities in what we do or what we are, but the one true quality that I know I have is the ability to forgive. It wasn't always easy for me to be forgiving. But thank God that I have that quality now.

Blessings till I post again.
