      Sit Under My Apple Tree - Preface

      I won’t take much of your time, but I’d love for you to sit down under my apple tree and talk about friendship with me. Why an apple tree? You’ll see!

      You could pour yourself a cup of hot apple spice tea or just grab a delicious, juicy apple of your favorite variety. Let’s make this fun! And you don’t need to just listen; you can talk back to me, too. Feel free to email me at [email protected] as you read along or after you’ve completed this short book.

But let’s see if we can really get to the root of this relationship so we’re more likely to grow them healthy, sweet and strong.

      A friend is someone who speaks into your life and you speak into theirs on a mutual basis.

      A teacher and a student are not friends. The teacher speaks into the student’s life, and the student must raise their hand to gain permission to speak to the teacher. This is not a mutual relationship.

      A doctor and a patient are not friends. The doctor speaks wisdom and information into the patient’s life and the patient pays the bill.

      And make no mistake about it; a parent and a child (at least during the formative years) are not friends. The parent speaks into the child’s life and the child listens. Later, when the child is older, the parent (hopefully) allows the child to begin speaking into their life and he or she begins to speak a little less into the adult child’s life. Thus
