Plain Wisdom (2011)
“—PROVERBS 17:17 From Cindy I was in the third grade when I made my first real friend in school. Until that time I’d never asked anyone to come home to play with me unless that person could walk to my house. But by the time I entered third grade, we’d moved to a more rural area. When I asked my mom and dad if my new friend could come over, they thought it sounded like a good idea.
Our parents passed notes back and forth and worked out the details. My friend and I were so excited! She couldn’t sp...end the night, but she could ride the bus to my house, and her dad would pick her up around six o’clock.
We bounded off the bus that afternoon and waltzed inside, all giggles and excitement. My mom greeted us, looking surprised when she met the girl. We played in the backyard, walked to a nearby creek, and laughed over the silliest things.
When my dad came home, he looked from my friend to my mom, motionless for a moment before he smiled broadly and welcomed the girl. When her dad arrived, his eyes grew large as his daughter introduced us.MoreLess
