Friends invited me to spend an occasional refreshing weekend at a Christian retreat center, and eventually to take classes at seminary. All these activities helped restore my physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Say something to let your friend know you care. You may believe that you have no words to offer a divorced friend. Good friends give hope, strength, and love in a time when these are desperately needed.
Friends encourage divorced people to find the freedom of forgiveness and the ability to dream again.
In this freedom, I'm rebuilding my life. Because of the encouragement and faith of good Christian friends, I grew greatly in my faith and learned how to love again. Now, eight years later, I know God can bring transformation and healing out of the ashes of divorce. Not long ago, I was driving my car on a particularly foggy morning. Most of the time, I could see the sun like a distant star shining feebly through the haze, but occasionally I drove through low places where the fog completely blocked out the sun.
