Friendship Milestone

I attended two beautiful weddings over the 3-day weekend.  Weddings of two very good friends of mine that I’ve known for about 10 years.  And I consider it a privilege to have witnessed these men enter a new season of their lives.  I am so blessed to have walked with these men during my youth days and even up to today we’re good friends.  During the reception of both weddings there were pictures being flashed of our younger years, when I was minus x-pounds.  It made me thankful for having grown up with men like Jay and Francis.  The three of us were among the first to help pioneer the youth group in Victory Alabang way back then.  We’re from different backgrounds, have different personalities, come from different schools (well Jay and Francis were both from Bene).  But no matter the difference we all had one thing in common.  We all loved Jesus.

Many years ago we were told that the relationships we developed in church would not be temporary but lifelong.  Back then that line just sounded good to hear, but now I have seen it become a reality.  These men love Jesus and I doubt this reality would have been possible apart from Jesus.  The memory of this important milestone in Jay and Francis’ lives will be stored away with all the other memories that I have accumulated with these men over the years.  And when little ‘Jays’ and little ‘Kikos’ start running around I will pull out a memory or two to share with them.

Congratulations once again to Jay & Nina and Francis & Belle!
