Friendship

Do you have some theory about how your friendships have developed?

Well, Aristotle put friendships into categories.  Ruth Scurr shared that “Aristotle divided friendships into three types, according to whether it was motivated by utility, pleasure or virtue. In his, “ Theory of Moral Sentiments”. (1759) Adam Smith claimed that only the last of these three deserved “the sacred and venerable name of friendship.”

 We (my husband and I) include “Jo” is in the category of friends that are like family. Over the years, she helped at our anniversary party, attended countless dinners at our home, laughed over meals at restaurants, attended church together, luncheons, fashion shows, NSBE conventions, and so goes the list.

We have prayed for her and prayed with her.

Jo is more than a friend; she is like family to us.

Jo is such a cutie. Plus she is so intelligent. Here she is preparing
to teach Sunday School to 3 and 4 year old children.
