Friendships - Old and New

Last night we attended the TBC Alumni Banquet. We had a wonderful time seeing "old friends" and meeting "new friends". Bro. Wayne Huntley spoke and told "His Story". I was amazed and tears filled my eyes many times as he told of receiving his call into the ministry. I love hearing how God reaches for those He calls. When Bro. Huntley was speaking he said this quote: "I may deserve my enemies, but I don't deserve my friends." It was a very thought provoking quote. I really do not deserve the friends I have, but I'm so thankful I have them!

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel what I'm feeling in our organization? For some time now I have been feeling a love for one another like I haven't seen or felt in a long time. I am not going to "put down" what we've always been a part of, because I don't have anything negative I want to say. But,to me it seems most everyone is "reaching out to others" and "embracing" the fact that "friends are special"! Not just the ones we've always been friends with, but those in the "ministry". Preacher's and Preacher's wives....we have so much to be thankful for! Hold on to your friends, but let's reach out to the ones we don't know very well. Maybe you see them at a sectional meeting or sometime at a district function. Maybe you see them in a mall or another place of business. Reach out! They might need an extra touch that very day! It can be a real lonely world at times, and we really do need each other!!!

Have a blessed day!
