I LIKE YOU

I received a little package in the mail today.
It was a little book, just like one I had once sent to my best friend,Tara, way back in high school! She decided to send me this little book too, after I saw hers, while we were at the beach. It is a darling little book, although I have to admit I don't remember getting it for her. (They say the brain goes first!!!) It's a little book about friendships, entitled "I Like You"
and every friend, truly needs to read this little book.One of the cutest points, the author makes, and I will just share some of it with you:
***"On the 4th of July I like you because it's the 4th of July;on the 5th of July,I like you too.If you and I had some drums and some horns and some horses. If we had some hats and some flags and some fire engines, we could be a Holiday. We could be a celebration. We could be a whole parade. See what I mean? Even if it was the 999th of July. Even if it was August. Even if it was way down at the bottom of November. Even if it was no place particular in January I would go on choosing you and you would go on choosing me over and over again. That's how it would happen everytime. I don't know why. I guess I don't know why I like you really. Why do I like you.I guess I just like you.I guess I just like you.Because I like you."

Using this as a guide for friendship, maybe we can better understand how our loving Father in Heaven can so desire to be, not only our Savior, but also, our friend, because.....
"He Likes("LOVES") us"
