Grown-Up Friendships Part 3
These two posts on friendship (first one here and second here ) have really struck a nerve. I've had more texts and face-to-face conversations with people saying to me, "I needed what you said about friends. I shared it with mine." I don't think I'm being overly dramatic here: We know, deep down, the value of our friendships. But we don't always live it . I raise my own hand at this struggle: between running a household, responsibilities, job, your own kids, commitments, and (gasp!) church, I find myself longing for time to develop my friendships but little of it. I savor every moment with my friends, but sadly our time over coffee or cooking a meal together is never as often as I hope. The best friendships aren't cultured only in our disasters; they are forged through the ins and outs, the day-to-day as well as the "I'm bored sitting here in the waiting room so I thought I'd call you" moments. There is freedom in great friendship
