True friends draw our hearts Homeward—both toward our earthly home and our heavenly home. Such was the occasion today as I joined a few women at church in decorating for our special Winter Dinner. I was privileged to be paired with a dear lady whose fellowship was sweet as we pinned table skirts to the serving tables. We had a good hour's conversation, partly talking of the blessings each of us have in dear godly husbands who love and care for us. We are truly grateful for God's goodness flowing through them.
Once again, My Beloved. The thoughts deepen with time —
You are the love of my life, my companion in pleasure,
My very best friend through this earthly journey.
You are my shelter when storms are surging,
My rock when all seems like shifting sand,
My sharer of dreams and dreamer of plans.
You are my encourager when I want to give up or give in,
My reminder that there’s always hope,
My explainer of truth and thoughtful contemplation.
You are the one I want to grow gracefully old with,
And yours is the hand I want to hold at the end of the day and into the night….
For the rest of my life.
