With busy lives, we tend to put our friendships on the back burner. Being involved in the Brunch Ministry at church has really opened my eyes of the importance of friends, godly friends. Being pregnant really really reminds me of that. I was reading this awesome book, and the two letters I read where about those kind of friendships. Here's what one of those letters say and I pray we take time to maybe have some tea or lunch or just some much needed girl talk with our friends!
His Princess
A Love Letter from Your King
by Sheri Rose Shepherd
My Princess....
Let me build a true friendship
I want you to look for a true friend-not just any friend. Find someone who brings out the best in you-a girlfriend who is a gift from Me. My love, it takes time to build a strong foundation with a true friend, so choose your tools wisely. The first tool you'll need is transparency...the ability to see within each others heart-your strengths and weaknesses. The next tool is truth. I am the way, the truth, and the life for you. You will discover the rewards of real friendships when you speak truth and bring refreshing words of encouragement to each other. Finally, your friendship will need to be sealed in love, girded with trust, and encircled with prayer. Remember, My princess, you must become the kind of friend you desire to have.
Love, Your King and True Friend
Proverbs 18:24

I think the same is true for extended family as well. Thoughtful post.
