A couple of weeks back my phone rang here at the homestead. It was a wonderful friend who lives out of state checking in to see how everything was going. He said that he and his wife and children were flying in for a few days and invited us to come visit them.

Well, my wife and I accepted their invite to visit and they were staying at beautiful ocean front hotel in Glouster. In life , we are privaledged at times with very special friends. This couple and their family falls into that category.

Nothing is ever a big deal to them. Their quiet faith is demonstrated in every action in their lives. They are a very healthy presence to be around. They had attended church early this Sunday morning and went to purchase items for a barbecue. They cooked a dinner that you could not believe on a grill and out of their hotel room.

We all sat and ate on the front patio area and other vacationers staying at the hotel marveled at the feast that was made for us. So, our friends true to form did what they always did fed anyone that was at the pool area. littkle kids with hotdogs and others with chicken, steak and vegetables. Its a moment that my wife and I will never forget

Good will abounds where ever they go.

Later on Janet and I sat outside with them. sitting around the open air firepit watching the sea crash into the rocks and shared our lives adventures with eachother. at some point the subject of my blog and a book came up. I expressed to them my feeling that I do not feel called in this time. Plus everbody and their mothers has a book now. its almost a cliche.

I feel that if my blog helps people thats great but I am currently not called to make my blog into anything more that it is.

When we left to come home I felt a little empty knowing that I would not see our friends for a long time once again.

Moments that we have with loved ones whether family or friends need to be cherished. Time goes by quickly and you want to appreciate those moments and thank God for them. Amen

What a beautiful and peaceful day at the ocean. The sun, the breeze, the laughter, the sharing of faith made it unforgettable. It was a special moment in time and in our hearts  🙂 Thank you our dear friends for never forgetting us. True friends indeed.

God has been so good to myself, wife, family and to all of you too. 🙂 Recognize this in your life and love oneanother.

God Bless You All,

Danny
