Just A Thought ~ FRIENDS

"Often, we have no time for our friends but all the time in the world for our enemies."

~ Leon Uris (1924 - 2003), American best-selling Author ~

Although we might have little time for our friends, we somehow seem to find time for our enemies; perhaps this is necessary, to fend them off or protect ourselves, but the cultivation of friends is even more important, as they form a big part of our defenses.

It is easy to get caught up in things and become so busy that we forget our friends and lose touch with them, thinking we can take them up again ~ like an article of clothing ~ whenever we like. But this is not the way to treat friends, because friends, like everything else ~ including ourselves ~ change, and if friendship is not maintained, it may cool and become beyond resuscitation. Don’t think, in your busy-ness, that you need no friends, for the time may well come when you will need them, but if you neglect or cast them aside, they might not be there.
