FRIENDSHIP ♥

I am thankful for the joy of friendship. I am joyfully blessed to have BEST friendships with special people in my life with whom I share annual friendship anniversaries that are in the double digits - the constant, loyal, true, lifelong friends. You know who you are and that I cherish and love you!
  

I have friends who were in my life for a season, but I still remember them and the blessings they brought to my life for that time. We drifted apart for reasons ranging from geography to simply moving in different life directions. I still cherish those old friends, all whom I could talk to today and we would happily chat as though no time had passed. 

I have dear friends that I would have lost touch with entirely had it not been for Facebook. Other wonderful friends I have met through photography and other social media communities. They have all have my heart and I cherish each one!

Sadly I have had friends in the past that seemed to suck the joy out of the air and others that were never really my friends at all. If you have had such a friend, then I hope that you realize the blessing that came from that relationship – the discernment to know, as I do, how to appreciate all the more the real treasure of true friendship.

 I have newer friends today and even though I don’t know if they will be my friends for a season or a lifetime, I just pray that I can be blessing to them for the time we do have together.

Despite the ups and down, I truly hope I never stop making friends!
