Fresh Coat of Friendship
I’m back from a fabulous long weekend with some great friends that Dave and I have known since college. We live miles apart now, but we got the families together at our “half-way point”, and crammed tons of fun into a few days– laughing, remembering, and just loving being together.
And every once in a while, it needs a little update just to keep it fresh.
So you spend a little time and effort, making it new again. And then you step back and remember exactly why you love it so much. And you know, once again, that it was totally worth the investment of yourself because it means so much to you.
I hope you have friendships like this and that you take the time to get together or call each other when you can just to give your relationship a little “update”.
It’s really so much more important than a furniturere-vamp.
Who do you need to call today?

I'm sitting in Starbucks – I just left target after I hung up with you – and now, I'm crying ! So thankful that we did the "fresh coat of paint", thankful we made the effort! That was the exact thing I thought on the way home'!! Knowing our friendship is because of Him and thankful He has sustained our friendship through the years! I can't wait to "paint" with you again!! I love you friend!!
