Friendship

Some friends are for a season. Be grateful anyway.

Not every friendship lasts forever. Some friends walk with us for a school year, a job, a hard season, a single trip.

Then life moves us in different directions.

It's easy to feel sad or even hurt when that happens. But a friendship doesn't have to last forever to matter. Some people were meant to walk with you for just one stretch of the path.

Be grateful for the season you shared.
