As adults we often fail to realize our need for friends thinking we can live life independently of others, especially when we have so little time outside of our family and homeschooling responsibilities. When our paths intersect with others, let’s not whiz on by and miss the treasure trove of blessings received from others’ love and laughter and from the chance of sharing our gifts and knowledge with them. So, reach out and foster a new friendship this summer or reconnect with a languishing one. You will be refreshed and renewed, benefiting not only you, but also your family.
