This Old Guitar


I am blessed beyond words. I have the most amazing friends and family ever. As you all know, my guitar broke. I was sad. Angela offered to give me her guitar. I was happy, I was blessed, I thanked God. (see previous post if you have no idea what I'm talking about...) Apparently, that blessing simply wasn't enough. Over the weekend, it was revealed to me that several (aka MANY) of my friends chipped money into a pot in order to purchase me a new guitar. Apparently, Angela didn't know this was the plan when she offered me her guitar and later got chastised for her generosity by the originator of the "new guitar for BJ" fund. Sorry, Ang. :) Anyway, long story short, I am blessed beyond words. I really am just so incredibly overwhelmed by the generosity of my friends, by their desire to bless me, and by the overwhelming love God has for me that drove it all. I really wish I could vocalize accurately how the amazing outpour of love and support has touched me, but really the only words I can think of are humbled, overwhelmed, and blessed. Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you for being the visible tangible hand of God sent to make me smile. How GREAT is the love the Father has lavished upon me....
