Friendship is not a one-sided affair but should be beneficial for all parties. This advice fits well with Hebrews 13:16 “Make sure you don't take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship - a different kind of "sacrifice" - that takes place in kitchen, and workplace, and on the streets.” This reminds me of a song I wrote called, “It’s The Little Things.” It’s The Little Things It’s the little things, that go a mighty long way The hello, the hi, and the how do you do It’s the fun and the laughter that make life anew And the love from the heart, that makes it all true Chorus It’s hot lunches, kind gestures And the smiles that you share You give courage, you give hope And our burdens you bear In joy and in sorrow, you are always there To comfort and show how much you do care It’s the little things that go a mighty long way The chitter, the chatter, and the hot plates of stew All the calls and high praises when you are not near Stirring love in the heart, that brings out much cheer Repeat Chorus It’s the little things you do, that go a mighty long way. 20
Part III <strong>Relationships</strong> Have Value Recognizing value in relationships is important says Casey Jacox from Kforce Inc., (2014). Below are adaptions from his definition of VALUE in relationships. V is for Vulnerability -- This is an important character trait that a person should possess. Vulnerability requires people to have the humility to admit that they do not have all the answers, the confidence to admit they made a mistake and, most importantly, the courage to speak up when they need help. A is for Authenticity -- Always be yourself. If you are trying to be someone you are not, others will see right through you. If you try to be something you are not in front of potential friends, you will also find it nearly impossible to build any kind of long-lasting relationships. 21
