"Blessing my son and his new wife!!!!" Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions last month and you are so right, friendships require time and effort just hoping we can continue to be blogging buds.xoxoxoxo MegAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813495771602647993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-61651902698060938012009-07-18T13:21:53.961-04:002009-07-18T13:21:53.961-04:00I really like this post and what you've shared...I really like this post and what you've shared! You are abundantly blessed in friendship!<br /><br />I appreciated your comment on "friendships that need more tending". I have a friendship like this ~ and while I love this dear woman, I consider it more of ministry time to her than friendship time with her. Friendships should go both ways; blessing each other's lives - not a one way street. Now that doesn't mean that there won't be times when I need to give more - sickness, sadness, etc ~ but, in general, I agree that wouldn't should HAVE to or STRAIN to be a friend.

Wanda, I wondered when someone would raise the point that some friends need more tending than others....This came up in our Bible study just last week. I need to think this over a little more...Is this truly friendship? To HAVE to? Clearly friendships can wither for lack of input, but to STRAIN to be a friend doesn't seem right somehow.....Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163092593778837151.post-19278986624007001972009-07-18T06:45:19.072-04:002009-07-18T06:45:19.072-04:00True friendships are of great value.
