Dad's Ramblings -- Friendship

"But meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, for I trust that through your prayers I shall be granted to you."
 
                                                                              Philemon 22
 
This seems a little strange. Paul wanted to come and visit but said it will be through Philemon's prayers rather than his own. Perhaps this is another illustration of Paul not wanting to force himself on Philemon. He seems to be saying, "I want to come if you want me to." I cannot force someone to be my friend. Relationship is not a one-way street. It takes two to tango.
 
Today's Thought: Friendship cannot be one-sided, but requires the joining of two hearts.
 
Have a friendly day. Love you.
