Friends are certainly important and I agree totally that one has to make time to nuture these relationships! The true one's are the one's that hang around, even when things are difficult and uneasy! I am very blessed to say that I have a sister, who is also my best friend and is a treasure!!!Denise van Deventerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897595163306511834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-33652207813773422122015-02-03T17:28:35.395+02:002015-02-03T17:28:35.395+02:00First of all, I hope you had a wonderful birthday ...First of all, I hope you had a wonderful birthday and that the year ahead will hold many of our Lord's blessings revealed at special times to encourage and bless you. There is so much truth here. Thanks for your example of living a life for our Lord, despite the changes in relationships that have come your way. Often we find out who our "real" friends are when we are stripped of the world's view of status. Hugs and prayers that our Lord will bring real friends into your life - ones who will encourage and stand beside you to strengthen your walk in our Lord. <br /><br />~ Blessings, Tracey<br /><br /><a href="http://gracescraps.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Garden of Grace</a>gracescraps@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646713118809880180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-9476925329598458462015-02-01T16:18:19.013+02:002015-02-01T16:18:19.013+02:00and another thought.

May be the reason people turn away from you when you take a similar turn in your life like you did, is that they are simply jealous of your bravery to do the right thing in life. That makes them realize how cowardly and selfish they are and they don't want you around to remind them of it. Off course not all of them is the case but very often that is - not all want to hear the voice of their conscience.

I am with you on ...oh, Lynette, this a tough one... I am with you on that - friendship is a mutual affair - to give each other something that each one needs. But I also believe that there are situations when one should just forget about one's needs and be a friend - just be the mercy of God to the one, who doesn't seem in our eyes to deserve this mercy. Yes, there certainly should be wisdom on how far. Sometimes it is difficult and painful but to me it is even more painful when you expect a friendship in return and not receiving it. It is also painful when you thought that you are friends but that was only a matter of convenience to another person. I am kind of missing the depth of true friendships when, as you said, you can be completely yourself and not look over the shoulder.Svetlana Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03096892778904137387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-88014639366048789562015-01-30T07:27:49.987+02:002015-01-30T07:27:49.987+02:00This is so into me right now, I have just gone thr...This is so into me right now, I have just gone through so heart breaking issue with "friends", sigh..... do I believe?????Kirsty Vittetoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865134497128287875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-88410811054912366232015-01-30T06:35:04.748+02:002015-01-30T06:35:04.748+02:00Hope your birthday was super awesome ...

Some last, some don't. I've known my oldest friend since we were two years old. I don't get to see her very often (she lives an hour away), but we always have fun when we are together. Other friendships from the past have faded, although a few have been rekindled thru Facebook! My best friend of all, though, is my husband, and I bet you probably feel the same way about your husband.

I had a birthday too on the 18th and I am now 53.. so we are close in age too!! I too often think about my life and how much of it on this earth is left.. So I am trying not to sweat the small stuff, but let it go.. I want to drink deeply from the well of Life, and to get closer to God.. There is so much I could say, but I wont say it here.. And Who puts me together again when I am broke.. ? well only God does really.. He wrote the manual. He knows me.. Enjoy the moments!!Lizzychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140977596517699764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938850319958532977.post-13406482458429559212015-01-29T08:45:48.449+02:002015-01-29T08:45:48.449+02:00Happy happy birthday once again my dear friend!

Coming up 53 this year I can FINALLY say I'm enjoying birthdays again!!! So, hope you enjoy yours!!!! I have a theory about friends. And life in general. Ecclesiastes. There is a time for everything...& a season. Sometimes friendships are for seasons. To help in times of our lives... Not long term...BUT some are sent from God for Always. I love both! And I have discovered Cyber friendships are as real as in the flesh AND I love how scrapping connects peeps!!! Sermon over ;)!!!!!!

Hope you have a great day...Happy Birthday Lynette. Hope you have a great day. Friendships are hard. I too have had my share of one sided friendships over the years. Throw into the mix that we moved a bit with my husband's job and I lost a few good friends to distance. I hit the point where I was no longer willing to invest in the friendships. I was busy with my own family and that was enough. My sister has always been my best friend and 4 years ago moved very close to me so we get to spend lots of time together. I feel very grateful for that.
