Wow... you remember me? Thank you. I'm still dealing with heartache over my dear friends from my college days. I lost contact with them for over two decades, only to learn that they have turned away from God. There is so much I want to share with them, but they will have nothing to do with me. Their family was like my second family. I'm just feeling a bit isolated. For over 10 years, just my immediate family was enough for me, but lately I feel the urge to contact old friends long gone and tell them that they matter to me.
I often find that those urges are prompting by the holy spirit. It amazes me how often it is a friend who just needs a listening ear, even if it is to only nurture the friendship & remind them that there is a light/friend in this world that still cares.
Sometimes that is enough to get them back on the path. Other times it is enough to to give them hope for something better, which is better than what they had before.
Love you brother & I pray those friends hearts are softened & receptive to your friendship & fellowship efforts. Keep up your good work & you will be well.
I live in an apartment in Japan, so I can't keep my own livestock. However there are no plans to vaccinate foods here AFAIK.
I hope you are well fren. You are still in my prayers & I hope things are improving. Keep up the good in your life.
