Some dear friends of ours from Canada recently visited us on their amazing west-coast road trip. We have loved our "framily" (when friends are your family) for a third of our lives and had countless adventures on mountains in wild places and in in our pjs in the living room with a bottle of wine.
Friendship is an important part of what it means to be human. Jesus himself called his followers "his friends" (John 15:15). Maybe he knew we needed this analogy to show us how deeply he wants us in his life.
Who is your "framily"? Young people often feel the pressure of having a lot of friends. Social media teaches that more is always better. We've found that isn't always true.
Jesus had his multitudes, his 70, his 12, and then his 3.
We've enjoyed many framily moments over the years. We've come to discover that the goal in life is not to be popular but to have good friends. Framily. Pursue framily.
Jesus said in Luke 8:21 that his friends were his family. Jesus had a framily...and so do we.
Framily is forever.
These are good days.
