"In Friendship…we think we have chosen our peer. In reality a few years’ difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another…the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting—any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking, no chances.
A secret Master of Ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,” can truly say to every group of Christian friends “You have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another.” The Friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of others."
--C.S. Lewis
So I found this quote on one of my favorite blogs and I REALLY like it. I think of all those friends in my life that have made all the difference. Those who have been with me while I was growing up, during college, those I have worked with, and those I meet still. They have all shaped who I am and who I continue to become.
So, to all of my friends out there, thanks.
I truly believe that there are no chances when it comes to these things.
