A song hit my heart tonight so I just had to hum a few verses and try to remember the lyrics. The only clear sentence that came to mind is “I get by with a little help from my friends.” I sit here grinning about the lovely people who lift my heart and my very life with joy.

I can look back over times in my life when I felt I didn’t have a friend in name but like most things in this world, it was a lie meant to isolate me. How many of us have been cut from the herd of healthy relationships because the “father of lies” wove a mighty tale of untruths?

I long for a day when the lies are vanquished and friends can not be counted.
