It Goes Both Ways

My post today is short, and the message is direct.  All of us have people in our lives that we consider friends.  Some of them are the people we go to school with, ones that we work with, and some are even our family members.  Some of us might not just care about those we call our friends, but we may even love them.  The question is, do they know?  President Thomas S. Monson once said, "often we assume that they must know how much we love them, but we should never assume, we should let them know."  Relationships should not be one sided.  Both sides must put in the effort.  When I say effort, I mean that it shouldn't always be one person initiating everything that occurs in the relationship.  How can we expect it to last if only one person is trying?  If you want to hold on to that friend, family member, or loved one, you better start doing your part.
