sharing

"Friendship is acting out God's love for people in tangible ways. We were made to represent the love of God in each other's lives. so that each person we walk through life with has a more profound sense of God's love for them. Friendship is an opportunity to act on God's behalf in the lives of of the people that we're close to, reminding each other who God is"

-Cold Tangerines

The quote is from a lovely book by Shauna Niequist. I was introduced to Cold Tangerines by a dear friend this summer and I love the stories about life and love and failure and redemption that fill its pages. The purpose of the book is to celebrate the extraordinary nature of everyday life. 

To me, life is about long talks on the living room floor, pot luck meals, tears, and shouts of joy. It's about laughter and and going deep with people and letting them see that you're not perfect. 

It's doing life together. 

It's walking alongside one another...extending grace to those around you and speaking truth into their lives. 

life is to be shared. make others aware of God....and who He is....and how He loves.
