Friendship is a beautiful gift from God and there are no friends like old friends.
This morning I sat with a couple of guys who have been around my life since I came to Canada.
We met in the magnificent log home of Ron who, thirty years before, had been helped by Tom to complete his project. Tom is a builder who no longer sallies forth each day to do construction. Tom has Parkinson's disease.
That didn't stop the three of us enjoying a rewarding hour together, a time made all the richer because of the Presence of another mutual friend, Jesus.
After digressing upon our common Scottish heritage we came to the real source of our unity: the common-wealth of our faith in Christ.
What a source of joy, strength and comfort that is.
It allowed us to share Tom's trial, pray with him and believe that God, in Tom's 65 th year, still has an on-going purpose for his life.
God will have the last word, not Parkinson.
We'll meet again next month and it will be exciting to see what God has in store for us.
That's my breakfast thought for today.
Jubilate.
Ian.
