Rest in Peace 2012-2013

Life has a way of getting ahead of you.

Surroundings change. Friendships change. Workplaces change. The Seasons spin right on around. Expectations are laid to rest with Jesus and you learn to roll with it.

These words seem to echo in my mind at times.
"And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends
...We'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
"

I'm glad I have Jesus to always be with me through the constant change.  He's the best friend I could ever have.  I'm also very glad He brings new friends in the process. =)

Ok, time to put the "mirror" down.  =)
