Good afternoon, folks! I realized I picked up using the word folks at Disney. Anytime I am attempting to get through a crowd of people in a work related capacity I call them "folks." It worked better at Magic Kingdom than it did for a lobby full of high school choir kids :)
Maybe it's just me, but do you ever stop listening to what others are saying because you are planning what you are going to say in response. I do it pretty much all the time. There is nothing wrong with thinking before you speak, but why do you have to stop listening to do it? I am going to try completely listening first and then planning! On the same hand, I sometimes feel that people will greatly benefit from my "superior knowledge" and if it has to be harsh, so be it. Why? Shouldn't wisdom have some gentleness to it? If you are truly wise in a matter you probably have gone through the same thing and will have some empathy.
Here's a simple thought: Ask God for what you want. He is a generous Father. He wants to bless us, but if we can't ask him for something, guess what? He isn't in it.
Bible study also had some interesting points on friendship. She brought up that friends have knowledge of your "master plan", a closeness of presence, and insider knowledge. The study was talking about how God can be your friend and that the Holy Spirit gives us insider knowledge while studying the Bible, but it was fun for me to think of my relationships and see how those themes played out.
