FRIENDSHIP

Genuine friends are like pearls; they should be cherished & preserved. And if you have a friend worth loving, love them and let them know it……and that is just what many friends here at Chambrel and Church are doing.

When news was known about my impending surgery, I received a flood of calls and notes full of love and concern with promises of prayers. I’m truly blessed!

The beauty of true friendship is when a person likes you for what you are in spite of all your faults and all your shortcomings. One in whose understanding and virtue you can equally confide in and whose opinion you can value for its sincerity. One who comes to your side not only when you’re on top, but when you’re down in the dumps, or sick, or needy, or in trouble.

Robert Lewis Stevenson once said: “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend."

Abe Lincoln said: “The better part of one’s life consists of friendships.”

A friend loveth at all times….Proverbs 17:17

To know you have friends come what may,
Can brighten a dark & cloudy day.
Life is full of ups and downs,
Of smiling faces and of frowns.
Of kind words said and those unspoken
Of pledges made and promises broken
The best way to show you really care
Is to have a heartwarming smile to share.
To see someone’s smiling face,
Regardless of the time or place
Cannot easily be explained
Or a kind word said to ease one’s pain
Can surely warm one’s heart indeed
To be a true friend in time of need.
