True Friends

true-friend

“There are friends who would stick closer than your own brother or sister…”

– The Bible


One of my favorite song when I was in College and until now is the classic gospel song “friends” by Michael W Smith. Some of you would smile, and still remember this beautiful old song about friendship.

Many people depend on friendship for survival. Some would definitely literally die without friends.

Choosing our friends is very important though, we need to choose someone who would really care for us and not use us. Choose someone who chooses good over bad. And most importantly choose someone who loves God and follow His commands.

If there is one ingredient which adds warmth & love to our lives, it is FRIENDSHIP!!

FRIENDS surround us with the beauty of caring with them we can share what we see, what we feel & what we love. They help us with our problems because they listen as they listen, we begin to hear the language of our own hearts.

We can walk along the remembered paths of our lives & share our experiences.

We can work the soil of forgotten dreams that needed to be tended & nurtured again

We can always return to a friend like going back to a special place and find the same warm feeling unchanged by time or distance

Life gives us friends to share the precious times & memorable moments. Life gives us friends so we can share the growing up & growing down and old.

With friends we have a place to go to be accepted & understood.

Together we can laugh. Together we can cry.

In the heart of a friend, our thoughts are heard, our feelings are held, our lives are made more full, more rich, more open, more beautiful & more blessed!

This blog is dedicated to all of my friends both old and new ones! God loves you.
