 Found notes…friendship….

I still have more notes that I found going through files this winter… some to throw away, some  to keep and some to share…

This was one…the abc’s of friendship….

I still have a long way to go on these concepts… a work in progress for sure…

“The ABC’s of Friendship

The ABC’s of Friendship 

Accepts you as you are 
Believes in “you” 
Calls you just to say “HI” 
Doesn’t give up on you 
Envisions the whole of you 
(even the unfinished parts) 
Forgives your mistakes 
Gives unconditionally 
Helps you 
Invites you over 
Just because 
Keeps you close at heart 
Loves you for who you are 
Makes a difference in your life 
Never Judges 
Offers support 
Picks you up 
Quiets your fears 
Raises your spirits 
Says nice things about you 
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it 
Understands you 
Values you 
Walks beside you 
Xxoxoxoxxxoooxxox, explains things you don’t understand 
Yells when you won’t listen and 
Zaps you back to reality”

An interesting article…

All of these friendships are important. Data from a recent survey exploring friendship networks revealed that most of us, regardless of age, have cultivated a wide variety of social relationships. Here’s an overview of the specific friendship types that were explored:

1. Lifelong Friends

2. Best Friends

3. Close Friends

4. Social Group Friends (friends you socialize with but with whom you are not particularly close)

5. Activity Friends (friends with whom you engage in specific activities, such as “gym buddies,” members of your book club or dinner club, church circles, and so on)

6. Friends of Convenience (the folks with whom you might share carpooling duties, youth sports team parents, neighborhood groups, and so on)

7. Acquaintance Friends (people at work, people you see each day when you’re walking your dog, folks you know to speak to, but not about anything of consequence or especially personal)…d https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/lifetime-connections/202111/the-7-types-friends-and-which-is-most-essential-our-happiness

Our most important friend, who knows us inside and out, a Saviour, a forever friend,  Jesus…

 Yet I am always with you;you hold me by my right hand. 

You guide me with your counsel,and afterward you will take me into glory. 

Whom have I in heaven but you?And earth has nothing I desire besides you. 

My flesh and my heart may fail,but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Ps.73.23-26

Thank YOU…

What a friend we have in Jesus….
