That Special Someone

Praise God for providing that special someone in your life who lovingly walks behind you…steadying you, picking up your broken pieces, pushing you, holding you up, and gluing you back together.

Ecclesiastes 4:10
For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!

Praise God for that special someone who works quietly behind your scenes, prays for you, lifts you up, and listens…yet desires no recognition or anything in return. That is a true friend.

Praise God for that special someone who listens without judgement and whose advise is taken easily.

I took these pictures of banyan trees in Florida last year. I found these trees to be quite enchanting. Prop roots grow from the branches downward to the earth and become pillars of support for the heavy branches. They remind me of the special people in my life who support me when life becomes too heavy to bear.

At the time of these photos, I was in Florida for my father’s last days. Life just couldn’t get any heavier than that. And I had a special prop friend who held me up.

1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

I am grateful for the special people in my life. I am blessed. I hope I am a special someone to others as well. ♥️

And I am forever grateful for the one who had my back for the past several years. He was truly all of the above, and more. He was my special ‘prop’ friend. ♥️
