The Expensive Gift Of Friendship
I've been thinking about the up coming holiday season and the concept of the Advent Conspiracy (spending less and giving more). And I'm struck with the thought that the most expensive and valuable gift we can give costs nothing. That gift is the gift of friendship. It cost nothing to listen, it cost nothing to serve, it cost nothing to lend a shoulder to cry on, or a hand to help. This Christmas season look for ways to give the gift that will mend lives and won't break the bank.

I loved this post, Craig. You're right- the gift of friendship is expensive... it will cost us our time.
When I think about the time God has invested in us with His patience and loving compassion for this rebellious nation, and of course, the 33 years He endured the flesh as Jesus (not to mention His hours of torture and crucifixion), it amazes me that He still desires to spend time with ME. How gracious that He calls us friends (connecting through experiences with us, slow to anger, quick to forgive, sharing intimately with us, listening to us, loving us and correcting us, gently).
