Tuesday evening my wife will arrive in the US for the first time since August. This year long process is finally nearing an end. Through it all we both have grown individually and together as we have seen God's faithfulness, provision, and hand in our lives. There have been many tears, many laughs, and many memories. In the past year I have gotten a small taste of what it should be like to long for heaven. Just as I have been longing to be with Bek my longing to be with Christ has increased. It has caused me to love him more, seek him more, and keep my eyes on him.
This evening my neighbor lady came over as a few of the guys and I were having dinner. She is all alone and just wanted someone to talk to. She cried and poured out a lot of hurt from her life. Don shared the gospel with her and made sure that she understood Jesus's atoning work on the cross for salvation. I couldn't imagine what it must be like to be all alone with no spouse, no friends, and no family. Waking up each day just waiting to die. I was thankful for my wife, my church, my family, and my friends. My challenge for you today is just to ask yourself this question, "Who can I be a friend to today?" My neighbor Ann just needed a friend today. Someone to talk to, someone to pray for her and encourage her. Will you be a friend to someone today?
