Five Minute Friday: On Friends

September 30, 2011

in Five Minute Friday,Girlfriends

Around here we write for five minutes flat on Fridays.

We write because we want to, not because we have to. We write for fun, for joy, for discovery.

We just write without worrying if it’s just write or not.

Won’t you join us?

    1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
    2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
    3. Go a little overboard encouraging the writer who linked up before you.

OK, are you ready? Give me your best five minutes:

On friends…

GO

A friend loves at all times. Period.

You two have me taught me that. Taught me what safe feels like and how encouragement fills a heart with enough helium to float up the rest of that mountain. I could laugh until 4am with you and still feel like I was squinting at the wonder of that beach sun – so warm, so full, so heard. Toes in the sand and stories shared until we are sisters. Three different motherlands but a single Father God – daughters and children of the King.

I will wade in the shallows and still walk into the deep water with you both when need be.

We sink into the sofa and whisper those loud dreams. Together.

I am your friend.

STOP

What a beautiful post and picture! I was blessed to meet Ann in person a little over a year ago. We’ve known each other through our blogs for almost 7 years. She came to my area and we met for dinner and what a precious time I will always hold in my heart. She is a dear “real” dear. I am lovingly jealous of your time together! :)

Lots of images and memories – the words you wrote are talking to every one of us, friends are these special people we know have been sent directly by God.
Have a great day!

I want that. That has to be one of the greatest treasures of life: true friends.
