Weave

Yesterday I was hanging out with my friend who is so different from me but in a good way. She is like a tight weave and I am like a loose weave. I was thinking how interesting it is having that combo in a relationship. We have known each other for years and years and have gone through a lot together. She has always been a loyal friend that never never forgets to call me on my birthday and keeps tabs on what is going on in my life. It is always so great to find what she has been up to and how time is treating her.

Together we make a nice potholder. Her tightness and my looseness combine to make a strong and flexible cloth.

Sort of like our lives. When she is down I am up and visa versa. She is a constant encouragement to me and I hope I  make her feel safe and secure . That is what she needs so that is what I give her.

Some friends need other things and we need other things from them. How wonderful to be here and not be alone in the world. On this Lords Day  think about how many people you have that care about you and know that they are not there by accident. It is not a fluke that we are where we are.
