With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each others lives to impact one another in some way. Look for God in others.

“Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.” There is no beginning or end. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. It’s National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a friend. If it comes back to you, then you’ll know you have a circle of friends.
