Love

For lots of reasons recently I've been thinking about the friends who know me best and particularly those that have known me through lots of seasons of my life.  They have seen the best and worst of me, they have let me be who I have been at each season, they have walked the journey with me and let me walk it with them.  Those friendships teach me daily about unconditional love - what it is to give and receive it.  Even without daily physical presence in each others lives, their presence in my life helps me to receive grace from myself, God and others and helps me to truly love both who I am and who I am becoming.
