Beloved Friends

LuAnn by the lake.

I happened by
and noticed LuAnn
sitting on the bench.

I stopped
and took a picture of her.

Turned out,
a breakthrough was beginning.

And God had arranged
for her to have a picture of it.

Isn't that just like God?

"Beloved,
since God loved us so much,
we also ought to love one another."
(I John 4:11)

Thank You, God, that I know I am beloved by:
*You arranging a day at home
*friends that understand the unexpected
*Margaret's concern for Ben
*texting Jane just in time
*a beautiful work of art explained in detail
*a sparkly silver star
*a photo of a Christmas dinner to remember
*a sweet smile for the camera
*our compassionate, funny vet
*poor, sweet Sweetie Pie

With gratitude,
Sally
