Just Some Thoughts About Friends

According to Proverbs 27:17 iron sharpens iron, so friends sharpen the minds of each other. We learn from each other. It's great to find a worthy purpose in our relationship. I want God to keep me well balanced in my friendships, so that I will always please Him rather than pleasing other people.

Be careful being too critical of friends; just BE A FRIEND....that way you're only responsible for your actions and definitely NO ONE wants a friend that is extremely controlling. And if they are not interested in what you are doing, they are not your friend, so don't be persuaded to ask them to help you. The truth is they don't care.

Find a friend that is encouraging or has an excitement of interest in you, to say the least! And please don't call them a friend if they never call you...that's what I call a one-sided friend! A friend is........when every one else walks out, they walk in! Okay, don't get me started....this would be the book of Genuises...longest blog in history!!! Hey, have a great Tuesday and enjoy life's blessings!!!! But, for Heaven's sake, be a true friend!!!!!
