The Power of True Friendship

<p>I was having my car serviced a couple of weeks ago. My service advisor told me it would take about an hour and that I could relax in the service department waiting room until my car was ready. I’d find fresh coffee and cookies there, so I went in and got a comfortable seat among the dozen or so other people who were also waiting for their cars and looked for a way to kill some time.</p> <p>There was a large wall directly across from me with a massive television blaring the local news, along with a large collection of photographs of all the new makes and models being produced by the automaker. Well, right in the middle of all this clutter was a small, framed poster that looked out of place in a service department. I slowly read what was printed: <b><i>People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. </i></b>Now, I had to read that again: <b><i>People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. </i></b>Simple. Direct. Profound. I had just found great wisdom and insight in the service department of my car dealership.</p> <p>It’s true that people do come and go in our life. The older I get, the more I realize and appreciate those who’ve stuck around, who continue to pour joy and happiness and value into my life and make me a better person for them being there. I call these people my friends.</p> <p>You know, friends are true gifts from God and do far more than just make us laugh, smile, or converse with over a cup of coffee. They bring support, strength, and success to our lives, and, in many cases, are the reason we are who we are today.</p> <p>Well, on today’s podcast, I’ll be looking at what God and His word have to say about these very special people, and I invite you to join me as, together, we discover <b><i>The Power of True Friendship</i></b>, on this episode of Living Lite Today.</p> <p><br /></p>
