FRIENDSHIP

"In friendship, we think that we have chosen our peers. In reality, a few years difference in the years of our birth, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another, the accident of a topic not being raised at a first meeting — any one of these chances might have kept us apart. But being a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances. A secret Master of Ceremonies has been at work. Thus, friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauty of all the others." (C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves)

I felt compelled to share this beautiful quote and to tell each of you how grateful I am that God has enriched my life and revealed so much beauty through you!
