How do your friendships positively affect your life?

Friendships positively affect my life in that they nurture my life and help me grow as a person. Good friends are great blessings and should support you through good and bad times. I try to surround myself with good Christian friends and try to be a good example to those who do not consider themselves Christians or are Christians that seem to have taken a detour on the spiritual path. You never know when you are planting a seed to help someone grow in their faith.

The freinds I have made through Christ Care have been the life boat thru many transitions. When we don't meet for awhile it becomes obvious that something is missing in my life. There is nothing as special as someone whom you can pray with and cry with and share all your emotions with and they don't run away you.

Great artcile. Good insight into friendship-- that they can be life giving for a time, but like any relationship, if it no longer becomes life-giving it's ok to let it go.
