This week I had the privilege of being able to speak to a couple friends I hadn't in a while. As we were talking on the phone I realized how much I love friendships that are already formed. Teaching has put me into contact with many new and wonderful people but making friends isn't exactly my strong point. I would much rather be with close old friends than off forming new relationships. So as I spoke to my friends I was reminded of the joy of friendships that are already grounded, that I don't need to put so much effort into because they just come naturally. One of my conversations in particular was very good and I loved that despite the months of not talking, we were able to talk and talk with ease.
One of the ways the Lord loves me is through friends like these. Although I wish the love would be made evident by utterly surrounding me with these friends instead of having them be a phone call away, I am deeply indebted for the ways He touches my heart through others. It teaches me to cherish these friendships and to not take that gift for granted.
