Friends...

 

I have to say that God has blessed me with several friends that fit this bill.  They have been constants in my life.  I know that I can turn to them anytime for help no mater the time and they will be there for me.  Some of them I don't talk to a lot but I know they will be there for me as I will be there for them.  Some of them I talk to daily or a least one to two times a week.  

True friends are hard to find but when you have them hold them close.  Our truest friends aren't just friends to us but they are family.  True friends really know us worts and all and remain our friends.  True friends aren't just our friends when times are good but when the worst of times happen as well.  They stand by us through thick and then.  True friends don't use us for what they can get out of us but they give of themselves to us.  They pour into our lives and we pour into theirs.  True friends aren't fickle.  They have the wherewithal to hang in there with us no matter the circumstances that life throws our way.  I have a handful of friends that are my true friends.  I'm so grateful to God for them.  God has really blessed my life and I will forever be thankful to Him for the blessing of my friends in my life.  I love you my true friends and you all know who you are.  

(I know more often than not this blog is more pointed toward our son and all that he's been accomplishing in his young life.  We didn't do that just to center on him but to give our family and friends a place to see updates on him/us.  More recently I've made more posts to share my thoughts.  So no longer will it be just a place to see updates on us as a family but to share thoughts as well that our son can look back on in years to come that will hopefully be here for him to look upon for a long time to come.  Thoughts that will be uplifting for him that he can learn from as well as others who might read it too.)
