Within the past year or so Tate has started having friends come over after school. He and his buddy, Jack, have been in the same class for four years and seem to be constant companions at school. So, yesterday Jack came home with us to play again. I have often said that friends are God's gift to us, they are his way of expressing His love for us in a physical form here on earth. I am extremely thankful for the friendships He has blessed me with in each stage of my life, and it is fun to see Tate forging friendships of his own.
