Good Times

My last 24 hours were such a blessing!   I got to see an old friend, whom I treasure.   She lives in San Francisco, but I haven't made it up there to see her while we've been here.   She was in town this past week for TED.   She attended TED to network for a nonprofit that she co-founded.   God totally connected us week before last through a random connection.   He is GOOD   Yesterday evening I drove to Long Beach to get her after the TED conference wrapped.   Good to see her, so good.   We have a friendship where we pick up where we left off the last time we saw each other.   No subject is taboo.   It is a nice comfy friendship.   She was exhausted from TED, but we enjoyed her visit regardless.   My kids absolutely love her.   My daughter was especially sad to drop her off at the airport earlier this afternoon.  

I was blessed by some great friends in college.   They are all far flung now, but treasured none the less.   I have three college friends in Houston.   I see one sweet lady pretty regularly.  I am so thankful she has been a constant in my life.   I need to go and see the other two when I get home.   I totally enjoyed my Cali transplant friend this weekend.  

Friends are priceless...how fitting this was in my Bible reading this morning. 

"If one falls down, his friend can help him up!   But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!"

Ecclesiastes 4:10
