{friends}
There’s a miracle of friendship that
dwells within the heart
And you don’t know how it happens
or where it gets its start
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
And you realize that friendship
Is God’s most perfect gift.
My mom had this somewhere in her house. I don't remember where but I remember reading it over and over.
Friendship is something that I have been struggling with for a while now. For one thing, it is hard to open up and share your life with others and then it's not fun getting hurt. That doesn't mean I have to shut everyone else out and become bitter. A still quiet voice recently reminded me that it is not about me. Thank You, Lord, for Your whispers. I am sorry to all those I have hurt. Let me be a better friend to everyone You bring into my life.
I too struggle in this area. I think it is particularly difficult being a transplant. But you are not the only one...
What a nice post here Paula! Friendship is a struggle for me as well. I pray for wisdom when it comes to friendship. You are very inspiring. I feel blessed to know you.
