He calls me Friend

I am a friend of God.

He calls me Friend.

I live each moment of my day trying to stay aware of the fact that I am a friend of God. The people that I interact with throughout my day are meeting one of God's friends!!

Yesterday a student at one of the high schools that I work at met a friend of God. He came into to the office, hurt from participating in a wrestling tournament. I called his mom to come and get him. I told her that he was hurt, a little bit. A few minutes later he started hyper-ventilating. He wasn't responding. We couldn't get him to slow his breathing down. He was heading into shock. I called for an ambulance. In the meantime, I was holding ice on him. This enabled me to lay hands on him and pray for him. As the paramedics worked on him, I continually prayed for him. The boy left in the ambulance but did not leave my mind. I prayed for him throughout the evening.

Today he arrived at school on crutches with a torn ligament in his knee. I was thrilled to see him back so soon.

Thank you God. I am so glad to be your Friend.
