FRIEND
I recently visited with a long time friend who had moved out of town. As we shared “The Happenings” in our life since she had moved, it was like we had never been apart. We started our conversation right where we had left off months ago. So what is a friend? A person with
whom you dare to be yourself.
Thoreau said: “A friend is someone with whom you can think out loud.”
A friend is someone near or far away,
You don’t have to see them everyday;
A closeness, a thought you might say,
A oneness now and forever may,
Unite the two as one.
Even tho time passes you just
Know your friend is someone you can trust
Your wealth, your health, your life if must.
You might disagree, you might fuss,
But a true friend is forever.
You don’t have to see them everyday;
A closeness, a thought you might say,
A oneness now and forever may,
Unite the two as one.
Even tho time passes you just
Know your friend is someone you can trust
Your wealth, your health, your life if must.
You might disagree, you might fuss,
But a true friend is forever.
Emerson wrote: “The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand , nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.”
Proverbs 17:17 " A Friend loves at all times."
A Chinese proverb wisely points out: There are plenty of acquaintances, but very few real friends

I think true friends are rare treasures and we are so blessed to have them in our lives. I love you!!! xoxo
Our verse for today was "Greater love hath no man that this, that he would lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 Jesus is the ultimate friend, our example.
