You, Erin, have been a rock to me with your friendship and the words in your posts.My visits may be infrequent but the strength I draw from them is constant. <br /><br />You have kept my head above water.<br /><br />Strangely as I have been struggling at times to stay afloat I have unwittingly been a 'rock' to a new friend.I remain convinced that people come along in this life for good reason. Whether they are in need of help, or are there to help, where would we be without them all?<br /><br />Erin you are more than a bridge. You are the foundations. Thank you.

I love your analogy of the bridge..I recently visited a bridge here in Michigan and took some photos of the underside of the bridge and was amazed by the intricate framework. Funny, I thought of <br />those same paralells, I see Jesus as a bridge to the Father and we can be bridges to Jesus.<br />Peace and Blessings In JesusNever Forsakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537083795724752514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-46649306892209320412011-07-31T11:52:51.950-05:002011-07-31T11:52:51.950-05:00Erin, don't you find it interesting how God ca...Erin, don't you find it interesting how God can take a planned outing and turn into a visual lesson........Your analogy is fresh and heartfelt.....<br />Thank you so much for taking the time to share it with us.....<br /><br />You are so right that the bridge has two ends....one where we reach out to others and one where someone reaches out to us.....Just like God intended it to all along....helping each other......<br /><br />God bless you new friend........Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977147960900342156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-13158502234723354232011-07-31T10:44:58.010-05:002011-07-31T10:44:58.010-05:00Thank you, Samantha!!

Amazing grace, you are...and amazing gr...Hi Erin -<br /><br />Amazing grace, you are...and amazing grace are those old, rusting allies we call bridges. Ruggedly soured from the weathering of time, don't they still posses a magnificence in the waning hours of their span. <br /><br />There once was an adventurous little boy I once knew very well. With friends or alone, he used to challenge those grand rustic grandpas that crossed over river waters. I'm thinking there wasn't a bridge he didn't climb to the top or explore their undersides, hanging, dangling, climbing, clinging, sliding, jumping, diving...and the trains that crossed them as well. <br /><br />There were a handful of times that boy should have died but didn't. What should have been death, were merely scrapes, bumps, bruises, some broken bones, near drownings, and walking away every time. Silly but that boy got up bloodied to do it again, the next time to win bigger challenge. <br /><br />Crazy ... bored ... exciting ... mischief...disobedient ... who can say for certain? God's will...he's alive today and a very good person. Healthy, strong, probably lonely, smart but ignorant in some ways, and I see him helping people where ever he can. I know he's helping people cross those bridges, many many many bridges. Some of those people have no clue they're being helped. <br /><br />You know, this guy told me before he knows for certain without a doubt that God has a big plan for him. He's been saying this for a long long time. I tell him that maybe the plan has been in place the entire time..and that each step is a part of the plan. He's impatient I think but he does know so he does as you say...he carries others whom aren't as strong as him. I suppose he just does what he can.<br /><br />Special story Erin. Super read. Thank you & God Bless you and your family. :)charlie nitrichttp://charlienitric.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
