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"

FRIENDSHIP

 

(Prov 18.24).... A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a Friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Proverbs 17:17.... A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity

Proverbs 27:17.... Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend

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 18:24.... A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother

Proverbs 22: 24.... Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man thou shalt not go

John 15: 13.... Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

John 15: 14.... Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

 

We know for ourselves that when we have a good friend, we don’t want them to suffer alone when we are just a phone call away. We want them to call us and share their sorrows with us, as well as their joys, because this is what sharing a life through friendship is about. It is at our lowest points that we really need to rely on our friends without worrying that we are a burden.

If you are feeling self-conscious about having a tough time, you can bring this fact into the conversation by acknowledging it.

Chances are your friend will reassure you that she is happy to be there for you. In fact, rather than feeling taxed, most of us feel better when we have helped a friend simply by listening empathically while they share their feelings.

Without our friends, we would be hard pressed to get through the tough times and celebrate the good ones. If we leave our friends out of our process when the going gets tough, our friendships can begin to feel shallow.

On the other hand, when we include our friends in the full story of our life—the good, the bad, and the ugly—we build authentic relationships in which we can be who we truly are. When we do this, we invite our friends to bring their whole selves to the relationship as well.

 

 

 

What is a friend?

I'll tell you.

A friend is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.
Your soul can go naked with him.

He asks you to put on nothing, only to be who you really are.
When you are with him you don't have to be on your guard.
You can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you.

He understands those contradictions in your nature that cause others to misjudge you.

With him you breathe freely.
You can avow your little vanities and envies and absurdities and, in opening them up to him, they are dissolved in the vast ocean of his loyalty.

He understands.
You can weep with him, laugh with him, pray with him.
Through and underneath it all he sees, knows, and loves you.

A Friend, I repeat, is one with whom you dare to be yourself.

Blog EntryAfter The Storm...A Collab w/Cocoa8007May 11, '08 6:52 PM
for everyone

 

The damage was visible

Destruction

at every turn

Seems with every clap of thunder

there was a new lesson to learn

Stray words spewed,

striking as lightning

illuminating angry souls

as the winds of change

un apologetically blew secrets of tomorrows

from being told

 

Hold on to your rainbow

....

it gets better after the storm

 

The relentless eye of the storm

approaching

Maybe it is bringing a break

in the chaos

and despair

 

Time is slowly shifting

towards peace

and a feeling of calm in the air

 

Hold on to your rainbow

....

it gets better after the storm

 

Although the blemishes

cannot be erased

there is still the ability to heal

Love can be still be made

to love  again

Friends can be friends again

with the ability to forgive

 

Rain comes not to destroy,

but to replenish life

New experiences

New friendships

New dreams to conquer

 

Hold on to your rainbow

....

it gets better after the storm
