This weekend was a marvelous time spent with out of town (and in
town) friends and thought provoking conversations. While we all have
graduated from the same college, we ended up in such different places in
life just over a year later. Some are married, some are single, some
dating, some engaged. Some working in places of employment directly
related to what was studied in college, some indirect, and some not at
all. The interesting thing is how we all still need each other. We need
to keep reminding one another that life is difficult, it doesn't always
turn out the way you planned. We need to celebrate with one another for
achievements that have been awarded. We need to get excited for each
other when someone takes a step toward a dream. We need to remind each
other to relax and enjoy the sunshine. We need to be there for one
another.
I think that this is how God created us to exist, in a community. Today the world applauds everyone that is self
sufficient and has no need for other individuals in their life but I beg
to differ. We need that moral support, accountability, and voice of
reason to help make decisions when the going gets tough. My friends help
to keep my perspective in life.
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken
-Ecclesiastes 4:12
I am so thankful for these friends that God has placed in my life. What a blessing.
