I heard a pretty good senior spotlight tonight (which we recorded, I might post a link here).
Anyway.. it got me thinking (and Jennifer agrees) – we don’t have a couple who we can really call our best friends, one who we can really talk to, talk about the ups and downs of marriage, the dog, our wishes and hopes, do bible study with, who are near us in age.
We have a few potentials, but haven’t been able to take that step over the line of “decent friends”. And honestly, I have no idea how to do it. Thoughts? Maybe just really opening up to one of them about this.. I’ve been lacking this in my life for a long time. And tonight it hit home.
This has happened to me a couple of times, where you’re sitting around, having a drink or something and hmm, you learn a lot about people heh. It is a honoring and trustworthy moment as they let you in, or vice versa.
Of course, both sets of people I had known for hmm, 12+ years when those moments happened?
