But just like in every other part of my life, God continues to bless me by helping me through. Today I'm thankful to Him for good friends. One of those very good friends wrote me a letter today. I don't think she realized just how needed it was! It wasn't much, just a few sweet lines but it had the effect of changing my whole day. Encouraging words can go a long way in helping a friend. No wonder God talks about exhorting and edifying one another so much. :)
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our natural lives."

"Two are better than one,
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
But how can one be warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken."

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."
Hebrews 10:23-25
