FACEBOOK is good, but FACE to FACE really is better!

I find myself in a familiar situation, yet again. Recuperating from surgery, relying on other people to help feed my family, get my kids to school, clean my house. It is something I've done before. This time, I have Facebook, and that has been a great thing. I feel like I am seeing people, I am definitely hearing from people, and I get to even "chat" with people. But, this week I discovered first hand that face to face is just so much more special! 4 of the 5 days this week someone visited me (besides my Mom!). They brought lunch, or dinner, and sat to chat with me. Maybe for an hour, maybe for the afternoon; but each time was SO special. I so greatly appreciated them taking time in their life to come spend it with me. The hours spent looking at walls go much faster when you are able to visit with dear friends. Laughing at current life circumstances or listening to what God is doing in their lives.....every visit was a special visit. SO, the next time you THINK about visiting or getting together with an old friend, whether they are recuperating from surgery or not....DO it. Go for a walk together, or meet for coffee. Spend an hour together, and limit it if you need to....but every once in a while, forget about Facebook, and get FACE to FACE! You'll be glad you did. :)
