Over the weekend I was thinking a lot about friendships. I was in a place where usually I have several close friends, but this time didn't. I had a lot of very good friends there, don't get me wrong, but none of the usuals. But it was cool, because I got to spend more time than I might have with my other friends.
I think friendship is fascinating, quite honestly. That once upon a time there was someone you didn't know, but over time got to know them well enough that, when asked you say, "Her? She's definitely my friend!"
This weekend I was having a moment that may or may not have involved some tears (most decidedly did involve tears, haha, but for a good cause: my brother would have been 25 years old and, well, you know) and a friend of mine was able to be there for me. And it's not like I would have expected her to be weirded out by me randomly crying during a poorly-sung rendition of It Is Well or anything, but it made me so happy that she didn't turn away from the weirdly crying girl but instead put her arm around me and told me she was praying for me.
That was very cool. A few years ago I didn't even know who she was. This weekend she reached out to me when nobody else noticed I needed reaching.
So anyhow, I'm glad the Lord gives us friends.
