“I confessed recently to an old friend, "I realized I was looking at you, in your visit, through old glasses. Speaking old words. Telling old stories. I realize that in my life I've made so many physical changes and I need to give my spirit time to catch up." Time for my spirit to look at my friend through the new glasses of current life experiences. Old friends are precious. They become even more treasured when they are wrapped in the currentness of life experiences and not relegated to the past in which they once lived.” NeedsGivingLooksMadeStoriesPastSpiritRealizingMy FriendsGlassesCurrentsI RealizedRedemptionLife ExperienceOld FriendsTreasuredNew Relationship Author:Mary Anne Radmacher
