Tribute to a true friend

I awoke early this morning. This is unusual anymore, because of my work scheedule. I leave work usually about 9:45 p.m. I have become sort of a night owl - usually get to bed aroung midnight. But I digress.
My life has been blessed with the kindness of many people. Most of my friends as an adult have been non-LDS. I do count many as friends who are LDS, but I have many who aren't.
Of course, my children and grandchildren are always showing love to Lisa and me.
In the course of being married to my sweetie, we have come to know the goodness of Nan and Steve Christensen. They are an amazing duo. They have traits of true Christians. They sense a need and take care of it. They have done helpful things to us "above and beyond" what just an acqaintance would do. They will say "we'll be over next Saturday to ...........". Yes, there was a need and they just did it. No fanfare, no bragging - in fact Steve will probably be mad at me for even mentioning his name.
Their help has been a special blessing during the trials Lisa has been going through. I would have evntually got around to hanging the pictures on the wall (yeah, right). Not a big thing, you say. But these little deeds (to them ) were a breath of fresh air to my sweetheart who has been in a dark place for a year.
I am just one of many people who have been the recipient of their kindnesses.......and I wanted anyone who sees this to know of my admiration and love for them.
Happy Easter. (my favorite holiday).
