it is the ability to live fully in the present.
i truly believe it is a gift.
along with this gift is the potential to leave people from the past feeling neglected
and a temptation to treat older relationships as unimportant.
this potential has really been on my heart and mind the past couple of weeks.
i know i am guilty of it.
a song has been forming in my head to share the importance of my friendships.
i think it's probably a little bit cheesy, but being a wisconsin native, i'm allowed to do cheesy, right?
to write the verses to this song, which i may or not post later, i just sat down and thought of my favorite memories with my friends. most of them weren't huge out of the ordinary events. they were the living life together events. dinner. coffee. breakfast. games. parks. swimming. camping. painting. crafting. setting up the trampoline. it makes me cry in thankfulness to remember them.
may we have many more memories together!
1 samuel 20 is a tragic story of the deep friendship between david and johnathan.
as i was reading this passage,
1 Samuel 20:42 really stuck out to me.
Jonathan said, “Go in peace! The two of us have vowed friendship in God’s name, saying, ‘God will be the bond between me and you, and between my children and your children forever!’”
so when i reference the words, "go in peace," this is what i am referring to.
"this is a friendship that God has sent,
so go in peace my friend.
and know, i'll love you til the end."
