friends

gosh i can write about friends....all day long and tomorrow too
i have so many that are tried and true
friends take work and understanding
truth and honesty
and it was late in life that i figured out i sucked at being a friend
i was not dependable, selfish, and just a plain ol' lazy friend

but do you know who taught me how to be a friend.....the one that became my best friend
Jesus

there was a time i went to Him last......
i ran to the current boyfriend
i celebrated with worldly things
my treasures were disposable and "fun"
friends i called them some....when it was convenient
but when you put Him first
everything and everyone else fall into place

hey i've wrote about friends before  here

it is always a good time to reach out to a friend

keeping up with friends

through out life we form friendships with the people in our path

in school you were friends with people in your class

in college you are friends with roommates, classmates, random people you met as you walk to class

at work you are friends with those who share a cubicle, a building, a hallway

but you grow up and graduate school

you don't see each other every day

you graduate college you move away or your roommate moves to alabama

you change jobs, you move offices, you change schools

but those relationships, what happens to them?

friendships take work if they aren't convenient 

as my grandma would say its the season of love

reach out to a friend this season

reach across the years, the miles, the change, whatever it may be

it might just make their Christmas

how do you keep up with friends?
