FRIENDSHIP
|
While the lore of romanticism associated with Valentine's Day is tender, there is something even deeper which we may call unconditional love and friendship.
Are you blessed to have a good friend? And if your life partner is also your friend, aren't you richly blessed? Some friendships have been disrupted, usually by a miscommunication or unmet expectations which causes hurt feelings. |
| EXERCISE |
I invite you to do the following:
1. PARTNER CALL: If you have a life partner, tell him or her how much you value your friendship and then add "how can I be a better friend?"
2. EASY CALL: Call a friend you haven't spoken with in a long time and express how much the friendship means to you.
3. COURAGEOUS CALL: You may have a person who is no longer considered a friend. It could even be a family member. It doesn't make any difference who hurt whom. Just call and keep it light. Perhaps remind them of a fun time together. It's not a call to directly deal with a past hurt - it's just a call to re-open the door to friendship.
Of course, I will look forward to hearing the results of your exercise. |
