A cold dreary rainy day .  Doing my devotional today & it was on friendships. I guess you learn with age how to deal with things better. I can tell you this summer I had to give some things that truly bothered me over to the Lord. Tyler would come home & have to hear or see me crying but I always heard in a small voice say "let it go." Once I finally let it go, I feel totally at peace. Does it mean I don't care or done ? No, just means I'm no longer consuming myself with worry. I would like to think I am a pretty good friend but sometimes life gets in the way, people change & well, people do what they want to do.  For myself I'm not gonna keep score, I'm just gonna do the right thing & I'll be able to live with that knowing I wasn't the reason. Often times people assume too much as to what's going on in ones life, believe hearsay or new friendships evolve. I have seen one too many times friendships ruined & one or the other party have no idea what happened. I have seen people let their children dictate their friendships because of something a child has told them. I have always been taught there is two sides to a story, never believe ones side unless like I tell my boys "Did you see it with your own eyes ?" And other times watch a friendship slowly go away, which I think are probably the most hurtful. I cherish my friendships. I have lots of friends. I still have relationships with my friends from childhood, but in honesty I can really count my true friends on one hand.
Here's some quotes from my devotional & Pinterest :
The truest friendships are distinctive from any other relationship.
The truest friendships take place face to face.
Close friendships attach to the soul.
True friendships endure.
The truest friendships are trustworthy, even with a wound.

Have a good day & remember you are blessed for the friendships that come in your life! Cherish the ones you have & be thankful for the ones in your past because there is a reason they didn't make it to your future !
