Today I caught up with a good friend! What a joy filled day! A few years ago, my best friend moved about an hour away. We had every good intention of seeing each other regularly, especially when our children were such wonderful friends as well. But, as the years grew, the frequency of our visits seemed to almost disappear. I drove out to her house today and realized it had been over one year since my last visit.
We can talk and talk about how "busy" we are these days, but bottom line is that I didn't put our friendship in a place of priority. I chose to put other things ahead of our relationship and a few months ago it hit me how sorely I missed her. So, we have made the commitment to get together more regularly again.
And how sweet it was, being in the presense of my dear friend and sister in Christ. Before we knew it, 5 hours had gone by and it was time to pack up the kids and leave. But during those hours we laughed, we shared the lessons God has led us to and we reminisced about our children and how much they have grown.
Having a friend for over 5 years is new for me, for I have moved about every 2 years in my married life. We have been settled in Wisconsin now for 5 years and it is so nice to have that "old" friend that knows me so well.
It was a great day!
