Friendship

Friends, pal, bff's, buddies, besties, no matter what name you use everyone has them and everyone needs them.  Friendships are an important aspect of our lives.
To be honest, I don't have a whole lot of friends.  I have church friends, old high school friends, friends that are family, and friends that have come into my life through a mutual need.  But I am not good at making friends.  I have lots of aquaintances, it's very easy for me to talk to strangers.  But it's so hard to cultivate new friendships.   Maybe I'm just lazy, making and keeping friends is a lot of work.
The friends that I do have are wonderful friends and they are perfect friends for me.  Anyone of my friends would be at my side in a split second if they sensed a need and I would do the same for them.
C.S. Lewis said, "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another:
What! You too?  I thought I was the only one."
We need to keep our friends close, cultivate those friendships, and never take them for gtranted.
