Friendship

As I think about friendship, I wonder if I had my life to live over, how differently I would live it.

Would I have invited more friends over for dinner, even if it were just for a hamburger fry or macaroni and cheese?

Would I have sat on the lawn more often with my neighbors and visited while we watched the children play?

Would I have cried more often with them when appropriate, and laughed more often when that was in order? Would I have said, "I'm sorry," more often?

I want to be more like the kind of friend found in this acrostic:

          F - Fun loving; Faithful
          R - Risk being real, even misunderstood
          I - Interested in the welfare of others
          E - Expect the best of others; Empathetic
          N - Natural relationship; Non-exclusive
          D - Diplomatic; Delightful; Durable
          S - Sympathetic; Supportive; Stable
          H - Helpful; Hopeful; Happy
          I - Interdependent by helping others
          P - Patient; Protective by confidences; Personable

If I were given another opportunity at life and friendship, i would seizeevery minute of it...and live it for Jesus.
