Emily Dickinson on Friendship
Some days, you just need a little dose of Emily Dickinson, don’t you think? “True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island … to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.” “A friend is someone, who upon seeing another friend in immense pain, would rather be the one experiencing the pain than to have to watch their friend suffer.” “Ultimately the bond of all companionship, wheather in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.”

The parents also share profoundly about forgiveness. I highly recommend that you take the time to watch: It is Not Death to Die The second was quite convicting re: my own spiritual disciplines. Oh! How I can picture myself spending hours and hours reading…

Gracious
