You know, it's easy to tell a lot about a person based on their friends. When watching kids go downhill, one of the first alarms is the change in friends. But, our friends say a lot about us for all of our lives. Do we have friends who stick around? Are they loyal? Are they kind? Are they able to tell us the truth? Do they do things that make us feel good? Are they kind? Do they laugh a lot? Do they build us up? What makes them tick and makes makes us bond?
We women love our relationships. Sorta. We also hate the pain that they can cause. Hard to be such complex beings who long for closeness but struggle with being accepted. It can get pretty intense at times. And yet, we crave it so much that we keep working through it. We keep working to have the depth, the blessing of being known and knowing. Of being held dear even when we are completely out of it and unable to give.
Who are these women who come beside us? Walk with us? Bless our socks off? Who are the ones who touch our hearts with healing when we need it most? Who bring us meals? Who make us laugh? Who have coffee with us? Who understand our inner most thoughts?
Today, I thought that it would be fun to tell about others. You know, so much easier than telling the good things about ourselves. So pick a friend or six and tell us their attributes or a story of how they have walked with you. Who your friends are says a lot about you. So, tell us about them.;) I promise, it's a lot easier than listing your own 20 attributes!
