My Prayer
Father in Heaven, Today again I give you thanks that you gave me a REAL FRIEND. A friend who gave me so many memories that will forever flood my heart, my mind, and will continue to give me laughter in my heart, as my days too grow old. I pray that someday someone might feel about me the way I feel about my best friend. We miss him, love him, and look forward to seeing Him soon. Again, thank you for the honor of knowing what it was to have had a REAL BEST friend in my life. May you fill our lives with laughter, hope and assurance. May you comfort our hearts during this time. As you cried at the grave side of your friends, I know you know how it hurts us all here today to be at the side of a REAL friend that is now in your hands. I know he is busy enjoying the presence of you and all those in heaven, so every now and then give him a hug from all of us and remind him how much we love him. Thank you for being our God, our hope, our assurance and most of all our Savior and soon coming King. In Jesus Christ's Name we pray.
