Received this beautiful prayer written by my friend Jennifer. I extend it with love to you.

Friendship Prayer

Friends are the gift of the season. Each one gives me insight, compassion, support, reflection, relevance, indulgence, joy and a glimpse of my soul.

Thank you Father for my friendships so steadfast through the years. Each one helps me through the jogs in the road and gives me hope when I think there is none to be found. I am so grateful for the gifts of your Spirit received through their sweet presence. Through your Holy Spirit they help me grow beyond my expectations.

Words and thoughts I keep hidden away are exposed to them. I am heard in their tears of compassion, honored in their silence, celebrated in their recognition.

My friends are the living examples of your gifts. They are the miracles in each day. I need look no further than their constant, sweet, tender, acceptance.

Through them I learn to be a part of this miracle of friendship. You bring me into the circle of this wondrous gift that envelops, encourages, and embraces me in love.

Blessings.
