Through other eyes

I love that I have someone in my life with "new" faith.  Really her faith isn't new, but, she has recently started "growing by leaps and bounds" spiritually.  ( That is a direct quote)
This person doesn't have great biblical knowledge, she isn't caught up in a doctorine, she doesn't even have a home church.  She has this one thing.. FAITH that God is doing something in her life.  FAITH that even though her heart has been beaten and battered, God has a plan. 
She isn't concerned with knowing the bible inside out, and, she says she talks to God like He's her therapist. ( I love that!!)   She feels such love and peace from her relationship with God, she wants to shout it to everyone she knows, she wants them to have this same free gift that she has...
I talk to this treasure in my life, and I am thinking how lucky I am!  I get to experience the wonder of God through someone elses eyes. 
Today, this lovely, lovable person, called me and said, "Ask me how I'm doing"
I was almost afraid, but I asked anyway!  "How are you doing?"  Her reply was " Fantastic!!  I am blessed and highly favored!"  This is her response even while she is facing some major giants in her life. 
  There is such peace and joy in her life, it is literally bubbling over and touching me, and many others in ways she will never know.....
Thank You Lord.  I too am blessed and highly favored!
