Five Minutes for Friends

In this post I wanted to remind us all that friendship is one of the most important relationships that we have. Other than the relationship we have with God, friendship is the one that comes through time and again. Even our spouses should be are greatest friends. I believe the marriages that last are built on a strong foundation of friendship. Our love for our children, that knows no bounds, is shown through are friendship with them. Especially when that friendship comes with a side of even discipline. Make sure to take an Extra 5 minutes with a "friend" everyday. When a girlfriend calls and you feel rushed, spend an extra 5 minutes on the phone. When you are busy with your errands, take 5 minutes aside to call your husband to ask how his day is going. When you are busy scrubbing that stove or bathtub, etc. and your darling little one comes over, take 5 minutes to cuddle on the couch. Not only do you strengthen your relationship but you strengthen your own spirit!
