Friends
I recently read an article about how 70% of all pastors claim to have no friends. That thought breaks my heart.
Today was one of those days when you just need a friend to listen, to hear your heart without judgement and understand when you are tired, lonely, and, well, just feeling down.
I am fortunate to have several friends like that. Friends that let me be me. Friends that hear the heart behind my words. Friends that correct me when my humanity blinds me to the truth. Friends that listen to me when I just need to vent, guide me when I need another perspective and simply love me for who I am and in spite of what I am not.
Just wanted to take the time today to thank my close friends. You know who you are…I love you and don’t know what I would do without you. And to all those pastors who have no friends, I am praying God will bless you with some amazing friends because I can only imagine how difficult your job already is and then to have to do it with no one to call a friend…wow!
