We are unlikely friends, but friends, we are, and I treasure our relationship so deeply. Yes, we may be an anomaly in this world so fraught with anger and division, but I think we both recognize that ours is a divine gift to be valued and nurtured. I'm so touched that you have used the example of our friendship as a beacon to others that yes, we can choose to get along and to love one another in spite of superficial differences.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-78443035567745720922019-07-31T04:53:42.472-07:002019-07-31T04:53:42.472-07:00Praying for that right along with you, Pamela!

And the worst aspect is seeing Christians go at one another with fangs bared. The devil is having a hay day, and that needs to stop.<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-36704279911571547732019-07-30T20:47:12.166-07:002019-07-30T20:47:12.166-07:00Martha, I think you and I are a perfect example of...Martha, I think you and I are a perfect example of what you are asking in your poem. You and I see some things very differently. We are in many ways unlikely friends in blog world or otherwise. I often use you as an example, when talking with others, of how two people who are on opposite sides of some pretty important issues, can reach across what is to some folks an uncrossable divide and see the beauty in each other's soul. You and I are the people who can model for others how beliefs and opinions do not need to be barriers to kindness and friendship. I value all my friends, but I value friendships like ours in a special way because in today's world, such a friendship is so rare.

We each are entitled to our own opinions and feelings about things, but it seems as though others feel that we are less than human if we dare to disagree with them...It is very frustrating.
