One of my dearest friends is Cec Murphey. He was the keynote speaker at the Florida Christian Writers’ Conference this past week. I consider Cec a friend and mentor. He has been a big encourager to me in my writing career and life. He spoke on vulnerability and significance, and challenged us to let go of trying to be significant, but to surrender to the One who is the Significant. I’ve reviewed many of Cec's books on this blog and in my e-zine, so you may recall his name. I would encourage you to check out his books .
The best part of the week was seeing friends, such as Cec, who I only see at conferences. I think friendship is just a little sample of God’s love for us. It allows us to feel His comfort, encouragement, and admonishment, whatever we need at that moment in our lives. We meet many people in our lives, but a friend is a true gift.
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother, (Proverbs 18:24).
Let’s talk about friendships in the upcoming posts and how to teach our children to be good friends.
For now ask yourself:
What makes someone a “friend” or even a good friend?
What kind of friend am I? What kind of friend is my child to his or her playmates?
What is the difference between a friend and a mentor?
I’m looking forward to exploring this topic. Check out ChristianMomlogic. On my Wednesday blog posts we’re examining how to raise confident kids—ones who are not necessarily self-confident but God confident.
