Friends

Our friends had their date night tonight and came over with dessert and spent their time with us. We had a very enjoyable time together. It's nice to have friends that feel comfortable enough with you to just drop in and hang out together.

The whole idea of friends is such a gift to humanity. It's an affirmation that we are not alone; that we are known and accepted for who we are. We are challenged to live outside ourselves by being friends and having friends.

Something to drink. Something to eat. Share some laughs. Look to the future together. (What do you mean your daughter is starting to be interested in a boy? What's that all about? I'm not ready for that stage yet. I'm glad you're there before we are.) Look to the past together.

Together. Community. Sharing the burdens of life. Give thanks for your friends.
