Friends Share Love

Friends have a relationship based on trust, understanding, and shared memories. And each friendship is uniquely defined by the two characters and personalities involved.
Amy and Louise met in a bookstore in the same aisle looking for titles by the same author. They began talking and realized they had read many of the same books and appreciated many of the same qualities about the author: her sense of humor, fine characterization, and ability to keep you on the edge of your seat.
After adjourning to the bookstore cafe' for coffee, they discovered that their lives, however were very different. Amy was a single computer programmer, while Louise was a nurse and mother of three. But something about their shared interest in books kept alive their interest in each other. Their friendship bloomed, and over time they let each other into their own private worlds, encouraging and supporting each other in their everyday lives.
For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say "Peace be within you." Psalm 122.8
God delivers to us the people we need and the people who need us. He grants us the ability to recognize and rejoice in these people as HIS gifts. Dedicated to my old friend ANN for giving me this book that I am quoting from.
