On the whole, I believe that God has designed us to be social & for people to be important in our lives. And in my life, I see that God has put lots of different kinds of friends & people in my life. For me, its important to have a diversity of friends & not just try to have everything wrapped up into one person or only a few. Here are a few of the diverse friendships that I have:
- friends with whom I share recipes,
- friends that I see movies with,
- friends with whom I talk about good books,
- friends where our kids have similar ages so we hang out when our kids play together
- friends with whom we share about God at very deep & transparent levels
- friends that enjoy travel adventures
- friends that challenge my political thoughts, even though I have very few ,)
Let’s be sure to celebrate & honor the various friendships in our lives & let God unfold their purposes over time. Being & having friends is important! 😀
*friends who challenge us to eat different food!!!! ,)
