Reflections

What would life be like without friends to get you through each day? The Lord of course is the best friend that Christians could ever have. He has all of the qualities that a good friend could possess. But the Lord also gives us good friends down here. I am so thankful to Him for giving me the great friends that He has given me.

A friend is someone who is always just a phone call or text away no matter the hour. A friend is someone who understands you when sometimes you do not understand yourself. A friend is someone who you can rely on to pray for anything that is on your heart. A friend is someone who knows all about you but likes you still. A friend is someone who does the fun things in life with you but is so much your friend that they will do the not so fun things with you too. A friend is someone who sticks by you when you have been distant or have hurt them deeply. A friend shares mint chocolate ice cream with you when you are having a rough week=) A friend plays in the rain with you while you try to catch the raindrops on your tongues. A friend worrys about your safety and tells you to text them as soon as you get home when they know that you have been out. A friend watches musicals with you when they hate musicals. A friend goes to a Symphony Orchestra with you, when you have to attend because of a music appreciation class and you cannot talk anyone else into going with you. A friend stays up until the wee hours of the morning talking on the phone with you when they have to get up early the next morning. A friend makes sure your Birthday is special. A friend sticks up for you when you cannot stick up for yourself. A friend sends you a card in the mail to tell you that you are on their mind when the see that you have been down. A friend does your hair for Fine Arts before they do theirs. These reasons and so many more are the reasons that I am so thankful for the friends that the Lord has given me.=)
