It's God's Love #20

On Sundays I write a short post consisting of a Bible Verse around the topic of God's Love and I would be very pleased if you would come and join me each week.

We Praise God

We Worship God

We are in Awe of God

We Fall at His Feet

We cannot be Silent

The

Love

of

God

is

kind

towards us.

Praise and Old Friends - A Dose of Encouragement

Fred (my husband) and I along with 2 old friends from university days went to the Keith & Kristyn Getty concert in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast last week. 

We love going to Praise events but don't often have such an opportunity as this one.

 The Gettys were joined by Stuart Townend who co-wrote the modern hymn "In Christ Alone" with them and also some other pieces. 

I have to say that I enjoyed the pieces Stuart was involved in most but overall it was a good night out made better by going with friends. 

The four of us had dinner first in Benedicts restaurant which Fred & I had only been to once before on the graduation of our son Daniel from Queens University (a great university but then I'm biased because both Fred & I studied there).  

We had been living in Belgium for over 6 years and had not seen these friends all during that time and also for a few years before that but when it is true friends the time gap doesn't matter.  Yes there is more to catch up on but the familiarity and the ease of conversation and the knowledge of the care and understanding on each side is still there.

True friendship lasts throughout any space of time.

Let's Praise and Thank God for Old friends (and New friends).

This was the third night of concerts in the Waterfront for the Gettys and it is lovely to think of so many people singing God's praise there together.


Do you keep in touch with old friends?

I'm grateful for old friends, aren't you?
