'A Friend loves at all times....' Prov. 17:17a
A man who has friends must himself be friendly,..' Prov. 18:24a
Friends...when the holidays come I think of those who have been close to me though the years...my mind goes especially to friends in Florida, Maryland, Virginia, New York, Michigan and those in my state. Each friend represents different levels of relationship to me. The bottom line is that we can be real with each other with no pretense and always feel safe and not defend oneself. We may not talk very often or email but when we do it is as if we were never apart and we pick up where we left off. We all live busy lives and although intentions are good we do not always keep in contact as often as we should but we never question why 'it has been so long'. Friends are true, consistent, trustworthy, reliable, honest and will always accept and allow you to be how God made you.
"What is a Real Friend?"
A friend is one who walks with you when
the rest of the world walks out.
A friend is one who overlooks your faults
and recognizes your good.
A friend treasures who you are.
A friend takes time to know you well.
A friend is someone you can share your heart with and
know it will not go any further.
A friend comes just on time with the right words
A friend is someone you can laugh with, cry with, and share your heart.
A friend accepts you on your good days and your bad.
A friend allows and understands when you are talkative or contemplative.
What a treasure I have in my friends who have supported, forgiven, believed in me, not judged me, loved unconditionally, given support, valued me, accepts me...
THANK YOU FRIENDS...YOU ARE A TREASURE TO ME!!
