The Gift of Friendship

Together with kindness and in understanding, let’s take this time to self reflect. I am here to inspire, encourage, and remind you that God has given us the most important weapon we have to fight the enemy, his WORD.

Now let’s dress our bodies like we dress our souls, EVERYDAY!

The gift of Friendship          

“Every good and perfect gift is from above coming down from the father of heavenly light.” James 1:17 NIV

What do you think of when you hear the word gift? You may think of clothing, jewelry, a new car, a fancy meal, or even a vacation. Those are all great gifts, but what about the gift of friendship? It is an amazing gift to be able to call someone a friend. Friendship is defined as a state of mutual trust and support between friends.

This weekend I had lunch with some former co worker who I haven’t seen in such a long time. Covid has kept us apart as we stay in touch by phone. Lunch was more than food to eat for me, as we talked and laughter for the next 3 hour.

What a blessing it was for me to just see their faces. It was just like old times, but better. I was thankful that they each took time out of their day to get together. In the mist of such great company I found myself praying for each one of them, their homes, and families. What an awesome gift it was to sit among people I call friend.

When you get the chance be sure to reach out to those you call friend and tell them how much you appreciate them. Love is an action word, so I will not hesitate, I am picking up my phone now to tell my friends how much I enjoyed spending time with each of them.

Remember we are each others keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
