3/24/16 Friendships are a complicated
thing. I have prayed many prayers to have good friends or a close friend for
myself and for my kids. Friends are important. Everyone needs someone to
confide in, trust, talk to, lean on, enjoy each others company, and just have
fun with. I am always amazed at how a friendship can go on for years and so many
good times and tears can be shared, special times, and memories. Yet, a
friendship can be ended in one moment. One simple act or words can ruin a
friendship. For some the friendship turns sour and bitter feelings come between
the two. All those good times and memories become a blur and are forgotten and
only bitterness remains. Why and how is that even possible? I do not
understand. God has given me the understanding of what it means to truly
forgive. Jesus is the utmost example of forgiveness and grace for us to try to live by. Through Him I can forgive. I may not forget, but I can forgive and
put the past behind and look ahead. I know true friends are more precious and a
treasure more valuable than than rubies. I recently witnessed something between Jayden and a friend, something so tiny and insignificant nearly cost them friendship. I pray for my children to have good
relationships and friendships in their lives.
All you can do is be a good friend and
treat others the way you want to be treated, show love, grace, and forgiveness.
