Musing About Friendship
“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. Personally I enjoyed the college weekends at Purdue for a number of years, but as grandparent years have arrived, I rather expend my energy with the grandchildren.
When we tailgated we would enjoy the gift of friendship, entertaining folks from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky as well as from around the state. I do miss those opportunities to celebrate the gift of friendship. It took commitment and energy (using a good college football game as an excuse), but the feeling in my heart at the conclusion of a great weekend was difficult to match. Now we are finding new ways to enjoy the gift of friendship, like a good evening in the backyard by the firepit. (I hope the drought ends soon!)
Enjoy the friends you have, expand your circle of friends and you will be surrounded by one of life’s great treasures.
