My brother-in -law died in a fiery auto accident. He was 22.
He had recently befriended a young lady, and when she expressed such joy over a single orchid he gave her on her birthday, the young man promised to present her with another, every year.
I drove by the cemetery the other day. There, in a simple brown vase, was the 40th orchid that has been left there by that loving young lady.
Think about that for a moment...
I pray that all of you may have at least one friend that faithful.
