I am so grateful for all of the good people, past and present, that have influenced my life in positive ways.  These have been and are my godly network.  Their words, their manner of living, their patience and perseverance under stress, their kindness in the face of assault, and the multiple ways I can see Christ in them all dovetail to make me say, “Thank God for my friends.”  My life has been forever altered by these precious souls.  I would not even be the person that I am now without their positive influence.

Father, thank You for the network of godly influences and faithful friends.  Thank You that they have been a conduit of Your grace to my life. Amen!
