Today I visited a very "old" friend. She's so old that her daugther is mothering her thru a temporary setback. We laughed and prayed together. We remembered the years when our hair was much darker. We shared our faith and our fears.
The cold doesn't feel as bad when I am with someone and the quality of our time is precious. God calls us all to "be there" for each other. We shared the reading in the Forward for today. "in the sharing we honor one another's humanity and cherish the time we have together. And, in the process, God's precious gift of friendship assumes a sweet intensity we might not otherwise have known."
It's all good. Thank you God.
