much thanksgiving

I am so thankful for my friends naomiobi and dd88. I'm thankful because they helped me through a difficult incident this weekend. Their grace, patience, wisdom, and acceptance last night and today have been real gifts from God. I am learning how trust, obedience and faithfulness on my part is made possible only through prayer and community. When I am unable to do what is good, my friends help me, not by condemning me but by prayer, words of comfort, and gentle exhortations.
