The Friends I Keep.

The friends I keep leaves cars at houses. They give airport rides, they open their homes to me. They wake for 7:30 breakfast at Maries. The friends I keep clear calendars and mark moments. They bake muffins at morning. They crawl in bed for movies at night. The friends I keep text daily for love in Michigan living. They give big hugs at weddings, and gather with sisters even when they should eat. They share cars with hubbies, drive toggle-switch heaters, and work with refugees. The friends I keep discuss Jesus with art and work and the in-between. These are the friends I keep.

Thank you Laura, Jenny, Missy, Brandt, Don, Ryan, Bekah, Hannah, and Anne for being the friend I keep.
