Will The Wonders Never Cease

---

Three years ago…old gal me…

Was wary of leaving the town where she grew up…raised her girls…taught for 36 years…was afraid she would be lonely…sad…have no friends…

But she needn’t have worried…silent prayers find answers…sometimes in the most unexpected ways…

Old Man Wrigley…a friend of the best kind…cute…cuddly…loyal to the end…his mom…that neighbor of ours…another bff…

Fellow teacher…fellow lover of all things Mary Engebreit…funny…kind…trustworthy…a promised walking buddy…couldn’t have asked for anyone better…

And now…that friend from Old Town…gonna make plans to get together…

And so it is…as hard as it is to say good-bye…there’s something exciting about saying hello…

To that New Town new friend who after three years feels like an old friend and that Old Town old friend who after 30 years…is now…a new friend…

Will the wonders never cease…a blessed old gal…thinks not…
​
And those friends of mine…agree…
