From a Friend
Dear Friend,
How are you, I just had to send you a note to tell you how much I care about you.
I saw you yesterday as you were talking to your friends. I waited all day hoping you would want to talk to me too. I gave you a sunset to close your day and a cool breeze to rest you-and I waited. You never came. It hurt me-but I still love you because I am your friend.
I saw you sleeping last night and longed to touch your brow so I spilled moonlight upon your face.
Again I waited,wanting to rush down so we could talk. I have so many gifts for you! You awoke and rushed off to work. My tears were in the rain.
If you would only listen to me! I love you!
I try to tell you in the blue skies and in the quiet green grass. I whisper it in leaves on trees and breathe it in colors of flowers,shout it to you in mountain streams,give birds love songs to sing. I clothe you with warm sunshine and perfume the air with nature scents.
My love for you is deeper than the ocean and bigger than the biggest need in your heart!
Ask me! Talk with me! Please do not forget me. I have so much to share with you!
I won't hassle you any further. It is YOUR decision. I have choosen you and I will wait----because I love you.
Jesus
I love to read this when I feel like I am walking alone, when the only reason I am able to walk, to keep my head up is that he is carrying me. This helped me start my day today.
I was overwhelmed and then I read my plaque.
I hope this will help those wo are overwhelmed like I am sometime. He will listen and bring calm.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
