Friendships
“Do not forsake your friend….”
--A wisdom phrase (Proverbs 27:10)
One of the joys of fall that happens across our land is found at tailgate parties. Some are on Friday evening – high school events; some are on Saturday – college events; and some are on Sunday – professional events.
Recently we stayed home with all the grandchildren while the parents went to tailgate prior to the Purdue/Notre Dame game. The great part of the weekend was that we were able to enjoy a day with four children we love while four older young adults (whom we also enjoy and love) got to spend some time together with their friends. It was really super to spend time with people we all enjoy. Friendship is very special!
In just a couple of days some of our very special friends will arrive from Southern Indiana. Rather than tailgate, we will enjoy the gift of friendship with a backyard barbeque. Honoring the gift of friendship is important. It takes commitment and energy, but the feeling in the heart at the conclusion of a great time is difficult to match. Enjoy the friends you have, expand your circle of friends and you will be surrounded by one of life’s great treasures.
Prayer: Thank you God for the gift of friendship. Accept my gratitude today. Amen.
