How long has it been since we’ve told our friends how much they mean to us? Since we’ve told them how much they enrich our lives?
Why not tell them today? Below is a message from my heart to the hearts of those who have touched my life with friendship in a variety of ways.
If you feel the same way about your friends, why not forward this post to them and tell them this is how you feel about them too? I’m sure it will mean the world to them.
May the following bless you all!
Friend,
Spending time with you
Refreshes and refuels me,
Joining you in laughter
Helps heal whatever’s hurting.
When facing challenges together
I’m inspired to hidden strength,
My life is better because of you
For you, my friend, make a difference.
“Your love has given me great joy and encouragement . . .” Philemon 1:7 NIV

Excellent Cheryl. Your Life Notes are always inspiring and uplifting. You are such an encouragement to those of us who are writers. You let nothing stop you. Even dealing with your concussion and the after effects. You continue to press on and do what you were called to do.
Phyllis, thank you so much! You are a great encouragement to me!
I agree with what Phyllis said. You are a blessing and and encouragement! You, my friend, make a difference! I am so proud to call you my dear dear friend!
Jeneal, you are one of the friends I had in mind while writing this. Thank you for being my dear, dear friend. You make a difference too!
Hi Cheryl! You always seem to grasp that one verse that speaks truth right into my heart. This one from Philemon is so perfect for today! Praying for you and hoping for a speedy recovery from your concussion.
Connie, thanks so much for your encouraging words and for your prayers as well! Both are very much appreciated. Blessings to you!
