Friends are the stuff that a good life is made of.
Friends make life more bearable because there are others to share one's life with,
the ups and downs, the good times and the bad.
Friends make life worthwhile, because most of us need the presence of others in our
lives. In spite of all our individuality, friends help complete our lives.
When we succeed and achieve, a friend is there to raise the toast for
us. When life brings great blessing, a friend shares our rejoicing. When life brings sorrow, they are there to comfort and
console. When we are weak, a good friend will be our our source of strength. When we fail, a good friend knows how to
forgive. When we need a kick in the butt, a really good friend will be there to administer the pain, but not for pain's sake,
but to spur us on to greater glory.
True friends often know us better than we know ourselves, and love us in spite
of ourselves. They have seen us at our worst, and yet, expect from us the best. And they do not let us off the hook, when
they know we can do better.
"Friends are Angels
who lift us to our feet
when our Wings have trouble
remembering how to fly."
