Christ-like Friends




Each life that touches our for good

Reflects thine own great mercy Lord;

Thou sendest blessings from above

Thru words and deeds, of those who love.



What greater gift dost thou bestow,

What greater goodness can we know

Than Christ-like friends, whose gentle ways

Strengthen our faith, enrich our days.



When such a friend from us departs

We hold forever in our hearts

A sweet and hallowed memory,

Bringing us nearer, Lord, to thee.



For worthy friends whose lives proclaim

Devotion to the Savior's name,

Who bless our days with peace and love,

We praise thy goodness, Lord above.




We sang this in Relief Society on Sunday. I cried (of course) and thought of my dear sweet friends. Thank you so much for being such wonderful women; for being some of my greatest examples. It is an honor to call you my friends!

(I don't need to name names, you know who you are!)

Um, I would love to think you are talking about me, if not I'm pretty much a big dork right now. I love you too!

Does it help if I tell you my mom became an American citizen when I was in High School?

You are "fer sure" one that I am speaking of! And the whole Canadian thing...I am just glad you are only half. Did I ever mention that I am half German? You can say "Ay" and I will eat some bratwurst. It is all good!
