Conversations with Friends

How often do you talk with your friends? What about your best friend? I love the comfort that comes from recognizing a friend by hearing one spoken word. With some it's "hello", others "hey", a few "it's me". How does that happen?

TIME & PRACTICE

With one word you can tell if a friend is excited, sick, upset, or tired. You can even hear their voice in letters, emails, and texts. A day doesn't go by that I don't talk with one or more friends. We talk either in person, by phone, or email.

Do I talk with the Father as much or more? He is always present: in me, beside me, in front of me, and behind me. Do I listen enough to know His voice with one word? Do you?
