I cannot even begin to share the heartache I have toward words that a family member shared with me about my dying father that crushed me. I will survive and hopefully bounce back after some grieving takes place. <br /><br />Roxy, Tis true, some friendships need to fade.

It gives me time to thank the Lord for the day, and sit in His peace, and enjoy His presence. In the summer, I am so busy working outside every moment of daylight...yes, I can talk to Him during gardening....but I lose my focus more while working. <br />Your words on friendships are wise. I feel I've let my blog go over the warm weather months, and unfortunately my communication with blogging friends, as well. <br />IG is easy...but not very good for communicating with my blog friends.<br />Great post!!<br />Debbie<br />xoDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600235934416288679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-62298315314775017382016-12-13T06:43:51.078-07:002016-12-13T06:43:51.078-07:00What a beautiful post Roxy.

People I have never met, but our paths have crossed and I have gotten to know them and their families. It is indeed a blessing of the human spirit...things that connect us...it certanly has enriched my life. I so hope you are enjoying our Christmas season! What a lovely looking chocolate cake!Estelle'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04565205787406338559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-46107224383345004382016-12-12T18:44:07.726-07:002016-12-12T18:44:07.726-07:00Good thoughts, Roxy.

I have one special friend, a friend of probably 40 years, and although we don't get together as often as we should or would like, it is a joy to spend time with her. She and I always encourage one another in the Lord, so very different than the 'friends' who simply drag you down and eat up your time. Getting out in the winter is not my favorite thing, so I should do more correspondence on paper.Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-77985634591286008452016-12-11T16:59:37.274-07:002016-12-11T16:59:37.274-07:00I have had to let a few friendships go, too, and i...I have had to let a few friendships go, too, and it has taught me to be very careful before I get close to someone. It is easier to begin slow than to get into a friendship quickly and then realize it's not a good one. <br />That chocolate cake looks delicious! xo DeborahDeborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-13393877796200253922016-12-11T15:52:49.479-07:002016-12-11T15:52:49.479-07:00I learned a long time ago;

I don't think it's ever easy to say goodbye, but so very true that when it's time, it's time. I love your note on how to always make sure that we keep our priorities of meeting our families needs first. All in the right balance.

But it was always I who was working at it. One day her, I, and another friend were together. She was quite rude to me. I came home and told my husband. He said, "Jann, you have a lot of friends and you don't need a friend like that." It hit me like a ton of books and I have let it fade away. Sad thing is she has totally cut her off from all of us. Sometimes I feel bad and worry that she has something going on in her life, but I am happy and she has not reached out to me. It was definitely time to let it go. I have found quite a few new friends this year as well. Loving my new friendships!<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-62546681668519402132016-12-10T17:51:13.742-07:002016-12-10T17:51:13.742-07:00Oh Roxy, how nice to hear I'm not the only per...Oh Roxy, how nice to hear I'm not the only person in the world who enjoys the shorter days! I had to re-read to make sure I understand it right! This past July I had to let a friendship fade and it is painful. Thank you for this post.

When we moved cross-country from Nebraska I tried in vain for years to keep friendships alive through notes and calls. I finally realized that that particular season in life was over and God had provided new friendships to nurture. Wise words today my friend<br />Blessings,<br />Betsy Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-65466596202507515322016-12-10T11:21:13.230-07:002016-12-10T11:21:13.230-07:00So VERY,very true, Roxy.

It is sad sometimes and almost painful to end a friendship with someone that you have loved as a friend but no longer connect with on some level. Great post, Roxy. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.com
