Friday!

What2Say2Day? It's Friday! Even though I just came off a week's break from my educational job plus an extra Monday holiday (of sorts) this week was a very difficult one to get through. I am tired; physically and mentally spent. Last night, as I thought about how drained I am, I noticed that I am not, however, emotionally nor spiritually exhausted. That started me to think about how those can be separated or differentiated from each other. I mean, if you are mentally tired, should you not also be emotionally tired? And your spirit, is it not tied to your physical well being? I guess not. As tired as I was yesterday I still had the "strength" to go out for a nice dinner (don't tell my doctor I had a big bowl of Kim Chee Fried Rice Loco Moco) and enjoy the company of my wife. we talked about our week, our day, what's been going on in our different lives and other things that helped us re-energize one another (for a moment anyway). It felt great to smile, laugh and even cry a little with the one person I can honestly call my lover and best friend. Where is all this going? *shrugs* All I know is even though we think we have nothing left to give, we can always call on the strength of others to get us through whatever it is we need to get through. We all have a best friend, a friend who will never leave us, a friend who will never put us down or abandon us. We all have a friend we can call any time of the day or night to re-energize our soul and spirit, our body and mind. We all - all - share this best friend and his name is Jesus. Next time you need to get that extra burst of something to get you through, let Jesus give it to you.
