Earlier this week, we were so honored to be included as family to celebrate a 19th birthday with dear friends of ours.

The kind of friends who talk on the radio from their village to yours, even when we have to schedule a special time.

The kind of friends who say, "You go ahead and catch the boat that's about to leave for your village, I'll clean your house."

The kind of friends whose kids run up and give you hugs and kisses when you arrive at the door.

The kind of friends whom God places only ten minutes away from our home on furlough to help us through the transition.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."  James 1:17
