Friends are friends forever
I truly think one of the coolest gifts we are given here on earth is the gift of friendship. What would we do without our friends. It's like the Michael W. Smith song says, " a lifetime's not too long to live as friends".
I consider myself truly blessed in the friends department. I can't really remember a time when I didn't have a good friend or 2 to talk to. I could give countless stories and mention many names, but I think it is most important to say that in my 32 years, I have had many great friends.
This year, in particular, has reminded me of how important my friends are. I have faced many struggles and have dealt with serious pain and loss, but God has shown me there are people I can confide in and people who truly care. And, most importantly, I have reassured that real friendship is found with Jesus. He has showed us the way of true friendship because He has loved us enough to die for us. We don't have to die for someone to show our friendship, but we can listen, help, encourage and give. "A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need." Prov. 17:17 Take some time to encourage a friend today...give them a smile, listen to their problems...most importantly, thank God for your friends. Because, without them, life would be a lot less happy!

Friends are the Best!!! I am so glad God gives me friends to show me his love!!! There have been many people in my life that have really been there when I needed a friend! Sometimes they didn't even have a clue that I needed them, but God did and he sent them to me with whatever I needed in that instance! Thank you Lord for everything..... And thank you friends for just being you!!!
Okay - I know you couldn't single me out or anything, but I think we all know who is at the top of that "friends" list!!!!! ROFL!!!! I just had to say it! It was making me laugh!!!
I, seriously, couldn't agree with Carleta's words of wisdom more! God gives us angels and we call them "friends!!!"
