Great friends make miles shorter, oceans much smaller, and geography a small obstacle to overcome. They know their importance in your life, and don't need to be reminded. You remind them anyways because you can't help it!
Great friends welcome you with open arms regardless of how long it has been. They take in the details of the time passed and experience it all over again with you as if it were happening then and there.
Great friends understand the importance of your other relationships. They encourage you to maintain and strengthen them. They are genuinely interested in them because they are important to you!
Great friends may not always know what to say, but they know who does and they always point you back to Him.
Great friends build you up and encourage you. They pray for you. They pray with you. They lead you to the feet of The Lord and wait there with you.
Do you have any great friends? I sincerely hope you do.
I have some really, really great friends. I am so blessed to have great friends in both of my homes. I am blessed to have great friends that encourage me to have great friends in my other home!
To all of my great friends, thank you. I can only hope and pray that I am as good of a friend to you as you are to me. I don't worry about our friendship while I'm away, I know it will remain and we will pick up when I return. Time may have passed, life changed, and nothing may be how we left it, but we will catch up and go on. For that I am so very thankful!
Have any great friends? Leave a comment telling me about them!
