Considering Friendships...

Another small selection from my "Drafts" folder. I've decided to go ahead and publish it today. The original blog post was written November 16, 2014. Ironically, I was thinking about friendships just yesterday. The different types and those that come and go.  Here's what I wrote back in 2014:

I've been thinking of friendships that didn't pass the test of time. Somewhere along the way, we drifted away from one another. It's even true with some family members. Relationships take nurture and attention. Some are for a lifetime, like the steadfast, strong oak. Others are for a season, blooming beautifully but quickly gone. Yet, even those are remembered, and treasured, and often missed.
