The gift of friendship is one of the gems of living.  It is an experience like no other.  Friends are the vessels through which God conveys unconditional love and acceptance.  The opportunity to be a friend to another allows us the gift to be the messengers of love and acceptance.  We learn trust through friendship.  We learn acceptance through friendship.  We learn laughter and playfulness through our interactions with our friends.  I know the women and men in my life that I have called friends have taught me immeasurably how to love.  I have learned to breathe in the gift of support and understanding because of my friendships.  It is the feeling of being at home because we are fully accepted and loved.  God uses this gift of friendship to show up with skin.  It is no small thing to be called a friend or to call someone else a friend.  I have developed a friendship with God in these dates over the years.  A genuine give and take of time and energy in which love is the core of the exchange.  My heart is filled and ready to turn and be shared with the world after time spent in friendship.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to seeing how God is trying to befriend us at this time in our lives.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
