Homespun

When I was eating lunch today I noticed a bookshelf and so I went over and looked at the books, and I pulled an old blue one out of the pile that was called "Homespun - Along Friendly Road" by William Hiram Foulkes. It kept me captivated, and I read the first chapter which was called "The Friendly Road" and it described in detail, and also a little bit mystically what The Friendly Road is, and how "Homespun" is this great adventurer, or traveler, who travels the Friendly Road all over the world, wherever it goes. The rest of the book seems to be about Christian values or something.

"But, my neighbors, Homespun never walks alone. There is a Friend who keeps tryst with him and who has been walking by his side, an invisible Presence - a Voice inaudible at first, but intimate and persuasive, a Reality as real as the sunlight. Whether you let Homespun in or not, do not fail to open the door of your home, and it may be the door of your lonely heart, to let that invisible Friend come in to stay. He need never leave you, nor will he ever leave you, if only you open your heart's door wide. He is the divine Friend who can turn the bitter way of loneliness into a Friendly Road, and set your feet forever upon the way of everlasting light and life.

O Master of us all, be thou our Friend and let thy presence make our way of life a Friendly Road! Make and keep us friendly in deed, as well as in name. Give us both the grace and the joy of abiding friendship with others, for thy holy name's sake.
