What words do you like to hear from your friends? What words do your friends like to hear from you? Just in case you need some starters, here are some suggestions:
You teach me so much
I want to be like you when I grow up!
You are such a great friend
I’m glad we are friends
I believe in you
Let’s do lunch
Can I make your family dinner?
Can I help you get ready for….a party, or other big event?
You are a great…..wife, mother, friend, prayer partner, workout buddy
I’m better because I know you
I appreciate your prayers
Can I pray for you?
God is working in your life
You inspire me
I’m blessed by our friendship
I love saying those words to my friends, and thankfully those are words I have heard from my amazing friends. With too many friends to mention, I am so thankful that words from friends have encouraged me in all circumstances in my life….joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, health and sickness, and the good and the bad. And especially over 50th Birthdays! I hope you recognize the value of words in friendships, and that you let your friends hear encouraging words from you regularly.
