Friendship in deeper dimensions

Sat here at home today and spoke with a lady. It was the first time she had come to our home. We’ve only met once before, at the hospital, on March 3rd, the same day the house burned…

”It’s so nice here. It wasn’t that long ago – how have you found the time?” ”It was our friends, in different churches in town, who have done this for us. Everything was here when we moved in…” The more I talked, the more I saw her facial expressions, the more I was filled with thankfulness to God, for all our friends who have made life so much easier for us. Friendship in deeper dimensions!

We continued to talk about what we had done these past months, that we’d been to Stockholm and Linköping, to see Håkan, that we could stay with friends who offered. The more we talked, the more I was filled with thankfulness to God, for all our friends who have made it so much easier for us. That is friendship in deeper dimensions!

So, we talked some more, and came to the trip to England that Bella, Amelie and I went on this summer, how friends took care of us, how we stayed with friends. Dave was with us two days in London. The more I told her, the more I was filled with thankfulness to God, for all our friends who have made it much easier for us. Friendship in deeper dimensions!

Then we came to the trip to Uppsala-Stockholm, and on to the island of Gotland, this summer, when I told about all our friends who we got to stay with, and how they arranged things for us, the more I was filled with thankfulness to God, and all our friends who have made life much easier for us. It becomes friendship in deeper dimensions!

Now we both sat with tears in our eyes, I in thankfulness for all our friends… The lady said, ”Imagine that there are friends like that.” I answered, “Yes, there are, so many who have stood by us, during this time.” The answer was, “Then I understand better how you’ve managed as you have.” I answered, “I’m going to write a praise song about friendship…”

Obviously, part of the reason it’s gone so well is that you have been there and supported us in every way. So THANK YOU all our friends for being there. You’ve been a part of making life easier for us… Friendship in deeper dimensions!

“…She was full of good works and kind deeds which she did.” Acts 9:36

Thanks for friendship!
Thanks for your generosity!
God bless you all!
