Friends
 
Proverbs 27:9 (MSG) Just as lotions and fragrances give sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
 
It is true that a sweet friendship refreshes the soul. When I think about the friendships I’ve had over my lifetime, I am in awe of the different seasons they came about. With them came great depths of meaning and high peaks of joy and bonding. Our experiences were sometimes difficult in that we didn’t agree at certain times or we had to comfort each other in our times of pain and sorrow. However, the root of our bond held us close and kept us grounded in respect and love for one another. We honored God and each other for the privilege of sharing life together. To this day, my friendships of years gone by make my present day friendships mean that much more to me. Friends are a gift from the Master, and they make life sweet. Appreciate your friends.
