forever friends

ByBeth Ferguson

And friends are friends forever If the Lord’s the Lord of them …

I have always liked this song by Michael W. Smith. We’ve moved quite a bit in our married lives.  Not all friendships have survived the moves, but many have.  Those friendships are dear to my heart.  Today I am thankful for friends (and for the technology that allows me to connect to them easily!)

Proverbs says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another!”  I’m grateful for friends who challenge me, support me, know me … and still love me!

Grateful for Light

ByBeth Ferguson

The secret of seeing is, then, the pearl of great price.  … But although the pearl may be found, it may not be sought. The literature of illumination reveals this above all: although it comes to those who wait for it, it is always, even to the most practiced and adept, a gift and a total…
