I never really use my blog to complain. Heck, I try really hard to not complain at all, but lately I've been frustrated. Disappointed. Let down. I like to think I'm a pretty good friend. I may not show up at your house with unannounced dinners or take you out for lunch and drinks, but I'm honest and trustworthy and will do just about anything you need (5 kids excludes things sometimes). I'm there by your side, no questions asked, when you call. Prayer warrior extraordinaire.
Lately, though, I'm feeling as if I'm sending out Morse Code with no reply. Dead air. No communication on the radio. I keep in touch my friends and put forth effort to get together, even willing to travel over 100 miles round trip, but it appears my desire outweighs theirs. Maybe the friendship I thought we had is really just an acquaintance and I need to accept it and get over it.
Don't get me wrong, I have a few true friends who contact me to see how I'm doing, want to spend time with me, and we do things with our kids (wink, wink...you know who you are) but it is only 3 friends. 3...and you know what? Now that I type it out, 3 is a very special number in the Bible. Anytime scripture is written or repeated 3 times, take note; It is very important! It represents the Godhead/Trinity. So you know what...my rant has turned into an enlightenment. I would rather have 3 friends who I know I can call on and count on in a pinch, who show concern for me, my life, and my family than 10 friends who just really don't care.
Isaiah 6:3 (kjv) "And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth if full of His glory"
1 John 5:7,8 "for there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one"
