when a text is more than a text

My heart is heavy and it hurts today, for a variety of reasons and people and situations. I've called on the Lord frequently and tears have left tracks on my cheeks. The ones wetting my face right now are from pure joy and thankfulness. 
I received a text from one of my soccer girls who graduated several years ago, is married and has a little one. I am including snippets of our conversation so you can see God's faithfulness in action.

I told her the texts felt like a hug from her,

and she ended with this:

If God nudges you to contact someone-

no matter how long ago your last conversation was, 

do it!
