What are the stumbling blocks to making friends and building friendships? What does it take to be a friend? And what are the relational benefits to opening up our homes? These are some of the questions Janet Leighton addressed in her talk at the last Darien MOPS gathering.
MOPS members were encouraged to "be a friend" by taking genuine interest in others, listening well, being encouraging, and accepting differences. We were also challenged to get past an "entertaining" mindset and find ways to open our home to others - and, for some help and encouragement, Janet directed us to flylady.net, a site that helps you "gain control of your house and home."
