Finding a Lost Friend

I know I am not alone in feeling this. Many times in my life I have come across someone, if even for a few months, that I "instantly" know. Our spirits reach out to each other in recognition and I feel that I have found a lost friend from the pre-exsistence. These are the people that hold a special place in your heart and life, you never forget them- maybe their name if it's been awhile and you haven't kept in touch, but NEVER the touch of their spirit or the feeling of recognition. My greatest reunion of spirits was that of my wonderful husband. We knew each other instantly and the time passed here on earth did not matter.

I have a friend that I've never met in person but seemed to click with right away. Now a year later, as we are getting to know each other, we have found that connection. My spirit rejoices in the recognition and re-testifies to me of the powerful work and truth of the gospel here upon the earth. My friend is searching and longing for the truth and I hope one day he may put it all together for himself. He asks questions and I am grateful that I can answer them. I mention this for my friend is an amazing, beautiful artist. He should seriously be in a gallery somewhere. Back to subject - after one of our talks, I asked him to do me a favor and draw a picture of me. He has seen my RL picture of when I was first married and currently. But I asked him to forget those and draw me as "he" saw me or in other words - my spirit. Everytime I look at this beautiful drawing I cry. I printed it out to remind me - I am still beautiful and somewhere inside my spirit is sleeping and awaiting the day that I can overcome this stupid illness and be myself again. He has no clue what a simple picture has done for me and restored to me. I would like to share this picture but need to ask his permission first for he has put it in his portfolio.

So I guess back to a post I did a couple of weeks ago, you may see yourself in the mirror and not be happy with the body that you see. However, that is not YOU and you never know how others truely see you.
