August 31

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

One of the most difficult growth periods we are apt to experience is the loss of a friend. This person is not able to go along with us on our journey of self-discovery and healing. The loss can causes a great deal of pain and sadness. Yet if we remain open, we will be aware that our Higher Power has put a new relationship in our path, someone who can give us the care and nurturing we need to continue growing. We need friends to support and nurture us, particularly through difficult times. Without a caring friend we may not be able to learn about a part of ourselves we need to discover.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

May I be the kind of friend I would like others to be for me.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

To have a friend, I need to be a friend. I will be accepting and nonjudgmental of my friends.
