My good friend Britney B. and her family came and spent the night on their way back to Houston via Kansas City where they're moving next year. She is so awesome!!! They put up with waiting forever for dinner and then the pizza crust I made went everywhere and they were just so nice about it. Anyway, she had me take a picture with her before they left and then later posted it with this quote. (She had other friends she had taken pictures with too.) Anyway, so kind, I loved it.
“In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting--any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to his disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends, "Ye have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another." The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others."
