FRIENDSHIP

I read this today and wanted to post it. I have been blessed with such wonderful friendships in my life and YES our friends are an expression of ourselves. Sometimes we need to renew old friendships and sometimes in life we need to let some friendships go, but we must always have friends. It is a necessity.......

Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.
Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Stop and Smell the Roses!

I still haven't gotten my camera back from being repaired, but hope to borrow a camera this weekend in order to post some pictures of Jacob's party. He is going to have 5 boys over tonight. Fun, fun, fun......I think I am insane! Well actually I know that I am insane and several people have verified that! :)

I was just sitting here thinking what a beautiful day it is and how I sometimes miss out on the small things in life because I am so stressed out over the so-called "big" things. I am listening to the birds sing and the sun is shining.....it is about 68 degrees. Can't get any better than that!

Please be praying for Chris and I. His working in Atlanta is getting a bit much and it looks like he is going to stay in that territory for awhile. Seems like he keeps getting moved further South........if only we could end up in Florida!!! Well, just keep us in your prayers. Wishing everyone a great weekend! Melissa
