A special type of friendship

So as I'm writing this I am sat at a cafe with my wife, soon to be picked up by my mate to celebrate his birthday , going to Southampton. He has a huge amount of friends from there and we're meeting them, should be great fun!

But there is a special type of friendship.

Last night after many prayers for Christian friends, that request was granted and my wife and I got to have great company and fellowship with another couple our own age from church.

Great evening- good company, great conversation, delicious lasagne and a great starter board.

What is so special? Well, as Christians we have a new family- our family in Christ- and that is why it is so great to have other Christians as friends.

I especially feel the blessing because as I have said, most of my friends are secular.
