True Friends

My computer blinked with the announcement that I had email waiting to be read. The business mail was easy to spot. I sorted through those in my mind. It is like communication triage.

My determination to set those items up for attention was motivated by the other messages on my screen. Names of good friends were attached to messages waiting to be read. These notices made me sit up and beam.

One of my friends always brings me a smile. He has the gift of cheer. That's how I always feel when I hear from him. When I clicked on his email, I was again left buoyed by his spirit. His simple words emerge out of cyberspace into real life.

My cellphone vibrated. Several text messages were waiting. I scrolled through the messages. Again there were business calls to return. I prioritized them. But, I was looking forward to reading the message from a special friend, a true friend. My voice mail played a message of encouragement. Hearing those words of faith and trust gave me hope.

Later on my cellphone rang. Another friend was on the line. We we talk, catch-up and laugh heartily.
