Sister's, Friends, and other guys

Not having had a sister to grow up with has left me stinted in the "how to be a girl friend" department. Adding to that the always moving factor of being a daughter of a forest ranger...I have not ever lived in one location longer than a few years till arriving here in southern Alberta. 11 years in the same local. So I have been learning lots about friendships and long term relationships. They take commitment and hard work. Not to mention sacrifice. Weird - you would think that would come naturally to me- being such an out going goof but - no. I have thought on all the scriptures regarding friendship and love for many years and done study. It is so revealing....
So things I have learned:
1. Friends are not perfect - just like me.
2. Commitment to a friend is vital - otherwise your not a real friend.
3. Apply the principle "you be David, I'll be Jonathan" - friendships take sacrifice.
4. A friend loves at ALL times - perfect love cast out all fear - etc. ( all love verses apply !)
5. As I am growing and changing so are my friends.- I can't wait to see what God is doing!
6. There is so much more to learn.


I have other thoughts but that's it for now.

You know you are loved.....so if I've been too busy.....call me! This week I sew!!!!!! For Father's Larry and Richard.
