The Blessing of Friends

My Facebook says that I have over 2,500 friends. On the surface that seems pretty awesome. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful for each and every single one of those folks.

But my question is, how many of those would fit the definition of friend? “a person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.” I would dare say, not many.

How does one turn that situation around? It falls on you (me). I/you have to be willing to reach out regardless of the other person’s willingness to do the same for us.

Having friendships in life are a real blessing. They bring that extra ingredient needed to help you through stuff. Some don’t even realize how much better their life would/could be by just being friendly to others.

When good friends are there for you, it is like the sweetness of smelling one of your favorite smells.

Be that kind of friend to others and guide it in the right direction.

Proverbs 27:9 GW

[9] Perfume and incense make the heart glad, but the sweetness of a friend is a fragrant forest. #helpforyourdailywalk #paulaandthebible
