Friendship
Proverbs 16:28....A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
Proverbs 17:17....A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Proverbs 27:6....Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Proverbs 27:9.....Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
Proverbs 27:10....Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
John 15:15.....Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Philippians 2:3....Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Philippians 2:4....Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
2 Timothy 2:22.....Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
A friend is like a flower
Blooming in the sun,
And your world is a better place
With the beauty of each one.
A friend is like an owl,
So beautiful and wise,
Or like a special angel,
Whose spirit never dies.
Friends are like the blades of grass
That you can never mow,
Standing straight, tall, and proud
In a perfect little row.
A friend is like a heart that beats
So strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
If we didn't have a friend?
"True friendship means knowing your needed even without being told"
Building a Friendship
It starts with "Hello"
As time proceeds it grows
Doing things together
Going wherever
Making the best of everything
While you have the time and can
No matter where your life leads you
Know your friendship will stay true
Miles and time can not break your bond
If of your friendship you are fond
Remember all the things you do
They will help pull you through
Treasure them in your memories and hearts
And nothing can break your friendship apart
"Being a true friend is being the kind of friend that you want as a true friend"

ReplyDeletePam, I know this is father's Day, but I wassn't led to speak about fathers. I'm sure we will hear enough of that during the day.
ReplyDeleteI am more concerned with being a good friend to those who I entrust my friendship to, and for those I accept it from. ( I hope you understand that)
Thanks for your continued support!
Cocoa, that goes without saying, but for those who have to feel soemthing they can see, God sent people like you, and me. lol We can be his arms, giving a welcome hug, His face to brighten up someone's day, His ear to listen when someone needs to release, and His presence when someone is in trouble.
ReplyDeleteThis has my mind going in so many ways...
Thanks for accepting my friendship, as well as being such a caring friend. I know I can call you anytime of any day, and you are there. That means alot!
DARRYLL....Thank you for accepting my friendship, and I hope in the months to come, we both can learn what friendship is all about. I think you're so cool..!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Divine angel...who speaketh the truth...Good Morning to you! I thank you for showing me what friendship is, when you accepted me, as I am, and gave me what I wanted in a real friend...
ReplyDeleteHugging your spirit! Thanks for being you
Ispearmanni...Thanks for being so consistent. and thanks for always supporting me!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good quality of a real friend.
oh yes...friends are priceless...and should always be cherished...*nods nods*
ReplyDeleteis that yolanda?...nice...
Joyce this is great post. Did it surprise you how standoffish I was and it is just because of this post. Everybody that smile in your face is not your friend. Unfortunately I don't allow many in my space nor do I reach out to many because a true friend actually can pierce your soul and your heart they behold. I am very careful who gain access. My spirit welcomed you in with open arms beautiful one~smile~.
