Ecclesiastes 3:1
To everything there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven
We need to treasure every friendship yet learn the art of holding such organic things lightly. We never know when they will be taken on a different path from our own, or if we will be called away. I remember first experiencing this when I left England for the land down under, and again 17 years later when coming back to the UK. It was so gut wrenching and, so exciting all in one!
And so we came to the end of another season in friendships last Friday as we said farewell to Savannah and her family. They head off back home to America this week, It’s been a real pleasure getting to know her. It was a happy farewell party, but we’re left wishing we could have had more time. But such is life. Some things only last for a season, the trick is in being aware of that and making the most of every opportunity while you have it.
Maybe the most beautiful thing we can hope for is that our tears fall down and meet the crease of a smile 🙂
God bless you Lawrence family, maybe we’ll see you again some day?
