"Friendships take energy and effort to
maintain. Sadly, when life gets busy, it can be your friends who don't hear
from you for a while- sometimes a long while. You never wake up in the morning
and devide, "I think I'll neglect my friends today." It's much more subtle than
that. The truth is that friendships must be nurtured to survive. And that
takes time, care and love. It might take a little money and thoughfulness too,
such as finding just the right card, a small gift or that special something
your friend collects or enjoys. It may even mean a trip to another location to
stustain a special relationshpi either with an individual friend or even a
couple. As the apostle Paul said of his friends in Philippi, "I have you in my
heart." A good friend is like having a "twin sister" in Christ- you're never
far from each other in heart." " #57 of A Woman's Daily Walk with God by
Elizabeth George.
