We didn’t have much time, but it was enough. I picked up sweet tea for a friend and me, and we shared a quick but sweet lunchtime. We hadn’t been able to spend much face-to-face time recently but had kept up through texts. But here we were, together at last, and we shared the important stuff. Some laughter, a few tears, words of encouragement, and corrective truths.

When you don’t have time to get together, find time to stay connected somehow. When you don’t have time to get together, anticipate the time when you can see each other and share the important stuff. Investing in others is important. Letting others invest in you is important. Share life with authenticity and transparency. Invite others into your life. Abundantly pour into theirs.

My life is better because of my friends. My friends’ lives are better because of me.

Friends sweeten life.

Don’t miss out.
