I always believe people come into your life for a season or a reason. Some will be short and sweet... and some long and painful lessons. Some friends are hard to shake and move on from. others you would never even think of being mean to or striking.
After moving from Sunny California to the gray state of Michigan I joined a church group which is and was the core of our friendships. We raised babies and sent them to school together and we went on play dates and swapped babysitting. Our children were all friends.
Then one day something changed. Our children started to get there own friends and we were on our own. We had to say would you like to go to lunch and it would be without my children. We as couples had to go threw not being invited to old friends party's and BBQ because we were no longer friends.
We had to find new friends and new memories. These new friends were fun and the life of the party. One day soemthing bad happened we had to support our new friends threw 3 years of unemployment and frustration. We had to watch our friends move to a sunny state and be sad we could not go. We had to say goodbye.
The one thing I still have is my core of friends here. The sad part is they have to start over. They have to go threw the fake friends. The ones who squeeze to tight. The people who latch on too quickly. The ones who you can not agree to disagree with. The people who think their opinion is the only right opinion.
They will have weed threw the friends to find the ones who they can trust who they can share their hearts with. Who they can show the battle scares too and not be ashamed. They have to trust in God and believe he will lead. Best wishes friends...it will never be the same but I thank God for the love he sent me everyday threw you. Peace
