the friends i don't deserve

as of recent i have been aware of my shortcomings in the friendship department. i think of the three greatest friends i've had in my lifetime: cari, bridget and kiersten and i am so frustrated with the way my actions do not display my heart's adoration of them. one thing though is for sure, these girls love me. They never give up, never offer harsh words, never attempt to make me feel guilty , they instead love me, cherish me, offer me mercy and unconditional love. over the last decade of my life they have demonstrated Christ's love, they have been the open arms waiting for me, seventy times seven. i so don't understand why it is a challenge to show those you care deeply for that you love them. but tonight, i am overwhelmed with thankfulness for them forgetting me not.
