Take Time for a Friend- Proverbs 17:17 (NIV)

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity. (Proverbs 17:17)

 

I do enjoy eating ice cream and sharing some with a friend is even better. I met with a close friend at our favorite ice cream parlor for a delicious treat. It had been several months since we last see each other. We had a lot of catching up to do.

We shared back and forth, and I learned about her children and new grandchildren, and I filled her in on mine. I do enjoy meeting with friends. I always walk away feeling grateful for taking the time to listen. Listening to other people matters. Everyone has something to share.

I should never become so busy that I do not have time for others. I know that my life can become busy, but much of it may not be needed. I must sift through all the to do’s and see what is necessary. Spending time with others is important.

Be Encouraged! If you find yourself too busy to have ice cream with a friend, check and see how you can rearrange your time.
