Christen’s Corner (July)

 

My story for the month of July: Friendship

Friendship.  There are many ways to describe friendships.  “Samuel Coleridge wrote a poem titled “Youth and Age” with the line, “Friendship is a sheltering tree.”  That is a wonderful word picture.  Friends are those whose lives are like branches.  They provide shade, they provide refuge from the demanding, irritating, and searing rays of the hot sun.  You can find comfort by them.  You can find strength near them.  They are tree-like in that they bear fruit that provides nourishment and encouragement.  Isn’t it interesting that when something occurs in your life and you are alone, you pick up the phone” or these days, text, a friend?  “You want to connect with someone else.  Few things are more lonely than going through a sudden test or joy and having no friend to call” (Swindoll)

My quote for the month of July:  Walker Percy

“We love those who know the worst of us and don’t turn their faces away.”

My verse for the month of July: Proverbs 27:17

“As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.”

My song for the month of July:  Barlow Girl-Never Alone
