Heidi of Mine

"Friends always show their love. What are friends for, if not to share troubles?" Proverbs 17:17

God brought Heidi into my life exactly at the time that I was going to need her first. She and her husband opened their home to me and held me(literally and figuratively) for the worst year of my life - when Nicoda died. Heidi bore more than her share of my sorrows and I will forget how she helped to survive with her kinds words, shared tears, bushels of prayers, and gentle suggestions. This year she was going through a stress that was from work, but affected her personally -- so basically the worst kind. I cannont say how glad I was to be there for her -- to let her cry on my shoulder and prayer with her. I owe her so much and know that I will never be able to repay it.

It was also odd to not stay there at her house when I was visiting. I did stay there for 4 nights, but in my head when I would be driving I would have to remind my auto-pilot to not get off on her exit each time. :-) Heidi and I fit in time for a nice lunch, quick meet-up for key exchange, a dinner and chat night, and a Christmas outing/party.

I love my Heidi!
