Hello friends,
Filling out a few Christmas cards today; I found myself thumbing through 4 old
address books. It was kind of unsettling really. There are so many names from the past in those little books.
Relatives, old and new friends, acquaintances, sisterchicks, church directories....
People who have moved and their address scratched out and a new one beneath it..
over and over and over for each move.
Then there are friends and relatives who have passed away- so many!!!!! (It really made me sad.)
As I looked through it all "remembering" ... my heart felt heavy.
So many people now gone.... or we just lost touch for whatever reason.
Friendships from all different seasons of life.
Why are friendships sometimes so hard to keep? As I read off all the names-
the memories we shared came back. Photos in my mind's album how I last saw them.
- Their smiles. Their eyes. Our last correspondence that I can even remember.
Thumbing through alphabetically ... the timeline of our love connections
A-Z thrummed a heartbeat of a span of well over forty years!
As I placed that last book back in the basket;
I close my eyes and ask God to bless each one and thanked Him
for crossing all our paths.
I'm grateful.
...and while I don't know if I'll ever see some of these
people ever again... I'm glad for our Once upon a time together.
And who knows... maybe just maybe our paths will cross once more.
Until we meet again,
<*)))><
