What a blessing God gave you in that time with your friend - not only the friendship, but eyes to see the blessings He bestowed upon you years ago. Truly beautiful. I love how He is always working in our lives and doesn't let a single moment go to waste.

So funny how we perceive things when we are younger....I am also one of six children, the second oldest of four girls and two boys, and grew up knowing that it was struggle for my parents. Funny thing is the fact that we weren't alone, definitely not the only poor ones in our community. Looking back I realize that I learned so much by not having everything and was truly blessed.

So true that other people's lives can look great on the outside but everybody has a story.

All the memories!!!<br /><br />Perceptions, I am sure virtually everyone has had a misperception or two at one point in life. I can't count how many times I've thought someone was in a wonderful relationship and then something happens and I realise they were in an abusive relationship and it was just cracked walls covered up :(<br /><br />This is the one reason, I've learnt to count my many blessings and name them one by one (I made sure this song was played at my wedding)Mrs FFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147637777019088507noreply@blogger.com
