I found God this week in the voice of a friend. A dear old friend and I chatted briefly about our mothers. The encounter was purely accidental. Our lives are busy and rarely connect for more than a hello. Both of us have mothers in their 90's who are strong and at one time were extremely independent women. As they have aged their capacity to be independent has diminished. These challenges affect them, their families, and all those who care for them. My friend's kind words, her capacity to listen, her capacity to encourage and to share her story and experiences with me boosted my energy and restored my soul. God speaks through our friends. He gives us opportunity to encounter one another. He gives us the words to speak and the ears to hear His words. We are not alone. We are loved. Truly, I heard God's gentle, encouraging words of love and comfort through the voice of a friend.
