#Advent Challenge Day 9

This is a genuine challenge for a shy introvert - I am the person for whom email was invented because it means I can communicate at one remove!  Oh dear!!  I am also very aware that my friendship energies get spent in a quite a narrow arena... I have loads of loose friendships but not so many close ones, and of course those change over time.  So choosing to spend time with someone more to the fringes of my comfort zone in this regard is a genuine challenge.

Ever wondered what became of your old school friends? Lost touch with a distant relative? In the business of life it’s so hard keeping up with friendships, and finding enough time to invest in everybody.

A study taken a few years ago suggested that most adults had on average two close friends. Like all relationships, friendships must be two-way and it’s important to take a genuine interest in people. The Bible reminds us of the strength that can be found in friendships.

A view from the Bible

"Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the other can help him up..."
