Last night Kelly and I went out for dinner. It was a rare treat since most Fridays in the winter land us in the bleachers to watch Caleb's high school basketball games. We had a relaxing dinner at the Golden Corral in Bedford, stopped to get some sports gear and topped off with a visit to Starbucks before calling it a night.
While it was very enjoyable, when we got back home we ended up talking about running into some friends who attend our church at two of those stops. What we realized is that whenever we get together we feel very relaxed and enjoy laughing a lot. That's the kind of friends we really treasure.
Our kids are about the same ages, we have similar interests and just click personality-wise. We come away feeling happier after just a few moments with them. We believe God has brought our paths together again after about a two-year period of silence. We really don't know what happened over that time but it's sure good to be past that now.
As we get older, it seems we don't want to take friendships for granted. We know how important they are in making it through this life. Some friendships don't last. Other friendships never seem to become what you hope. Lifelong friends aren't easily found. We're realizing, when we find them, we need to make sure we do what we can to build these relationships for the long haul.
