We often talk about our blessings: health, life, breath, financial security etc.  These are all good things and God gives us all we need to live and work and worship.  Today i give thanks for good friends.  I have so many and they often are taken for granted.. they are just there.  That is the wonder of friends: they are there: present with you through the good and bad often without being asked with comfort and consolation when needed, with joy and laughter when needed.  Friends bring hope and peace and carry with them the meaning of life: relationship with God and others.  Today I thank God for my daily blessings, my friends, who fill my life with good things.  Read John 15:12-15 and remember: God loves YOU unconditionally.
