Last week, I got to have lunch with my best friend. I don't get to see her much when we are in Texas, but when we are in Hungary, I chat with her a few times a week. The time difference actually helps us connect. Honestly, I miss her and she misses me. We "hang out" more when we are an ocean apart. It's interesting how God has ministered to us this way and how our relationship has grown despite the physical difference. Ah, God's ways are higher than our ways. :)
Well, my friend has this saying: "it's a love note from God". When she feels blessed or is reminded of His love, she says it's a way that the Lord speaks to her heart. It's a love note.
After lunch, I had the privilege of praying with her. She will be getting married soon and is very busy and overwhelmed at times. She is also grieving. When she first told me about her engagement and finding the money to pay for everything, I knew that her friends would give generously. First, I heard about her calligraphied (is that a word?) wedding invitations made by a very talented friend. (They are beautiful!) And her friend gave them to her as a wedding gift! Then I learned of them having a "honeyfund". Since I cannot go to her wedding due to it being in a different country, I was thrilled to help purchase several coconut drinks, two cabana nights, and more for her and her fiance for their honeymoon!
So getting back to my prayer for her: I prayed that she would just say thank you for these love notes from her friends and to not be burdened by how much they cost. And that the Lord would shower her with more love notes.
Today she told me the wedding flowers will be given to her as a gift. But that's not all. She is also getting the cake as a gift. All of you who are married know that these things are quite expensive.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for these love notes to my friend. You are a generous God!
I received two love notes today: two appointments to share more about our ministry in Hungary! Thankful.
