There ... No, it never stays the pain of the moment. There are times where I ache for those memories, those stolen moments, the hugs and laughter with these friends. But, remembering the promise of heaven puts the pain in perspective. It motviates rather than deters. I remember the friendships are eternal even if I never see them on this earth again.

One day, we will get to celebrate His faithfulness in one place and see how He used each of us in the separation.Kariss Lynchhttp://www.karisslynch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585635018021371280.post-19212136711704443322012-04-13T14:00:46.706-05:002012-04-13T14:00:46.706-05:00Isn't that a blessing?
