Friends

I'm pretty sure that one of the greatest gifts the Lord can give you in life are good friends. I have some wonderful friends. There's a few that I can literally count on no matter what happens. They will come help me when I'm stressed at work, they will listen when I'm sad or lost, they will pick up my children if there's an emergency, they will do whatever it takes to help me. I try very hard to be a good friend to them as well. I treasure their friendship more than they will ever know, especially being an only child...my friends, my best friends are like my sisters. What does it take to be a good friend in my book? 1) Trust... it the essential function to a relationship. You should be able to vent to a friend and no one ever find out. 2) Be there in tough times....don't flake out when times get hard, be there and be there in every capacity that you can. 3) The little things..try to remember birthdays, call often, and let them know that you are thinking about them. Life is too short to have not so great friends, so live and love and have fabulous friends and be one too!
