It's not the mountain ahead that wears you out. It's the grain of sand in your shoe. ~Robert Service~ ~~~~~~Friendship, when in an indifference due to others annoyances can also be that grain of sand in your shoe. Take off the shoe and clean it out, just as you can clear your mind and heart and pray friendship prevails.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~People come into our lives and walk with us a mile, and then because of circumstance they only stay a while. They serve a need within the days that move so quickly by, and then are gone beyond our reach, we often wonder why. God only knows the reason that we meet and share a smile, why people come into our lives and walk with us a mile.
