Friendship

A good friend with whom I haven't talked in a while called yesterday - I'm pretty sure that was the spark to this topic and resulting readings. The focus is the story of David and Jonathan, Saul's son. They were fast friends. I've loved the deep love and affection they held for each other as depicted in the books of Samuel since I first read it. So tender, so giving of each other, despite all the war and weirdness with Saul going on. Jonathan maintained his vow of friendship, knowing the pureness of it and David's innocence. Really heartwarming! I hope you enjoy this story and the other ideas of friendship below.



Much good!
