Friendship

Tuesday's Coffee in a Teacup!

I love drinking coffee from a teacup, it's kinda like playing 'dress-up.'

I've been thinking a lot about friendship lately.  It's wonderful to have friends.  They are an indispensable part of a meaningful life.  We can share our burdens with good friends, they stick by us  in our joys and sorrows.  We need friends who will pray for us in good times and in bad times, friends that listen to us and lend a comforting hand and an understanding ear when needed.

There's a special kind of freedom women enjoy, freedom to share innermost thoughts, to ask a favor, to show their true feeling and the freedom simply to be themselves.

There's nothing I love better than fellowship sistership with dear friends!

A friend is somebody who loves us with understanding, as well as emotion.

Robert Louis Stevenson

The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.

Proverbs 27:9 NLT

The happiest business in all the world

is that of making friends,

And no investment on the street

pays larger dividends.

For life is more than stocks and bonds,

and love that rate percent.

And she who gives in friendships name

shall reap what she has spent.

If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love friends for their sake rather than for our own.

Charlotte Bronte

The Miracle of Friendship

There's a miracle called friendship

That dwells within the heart.

And you don't know how it happens

Or when it gets its start.

But the happiness it brings you

Always gives a special lift,

And you realize that friendship

Is life's most precious gift.

Not only do we need good friends,

we need to be a good friend.

Sharing the friendship prayer of my GLOW group.

Lord please give my treasured friends
Love and blessings without end.
Bring contentment in their life;
Comfort them in times of strife.
Always keep them safe and secure;
Let their path to You be sure.
Lord, I pray my friends will be
Close to You, eternally.
Amen

A friend loves at all times, and is born, as is a brother, for adversity.

Proverbs 17: 17

The Gift of Friendship

Friendship is a priceless gift
That can't be bought or sold,
But its value is far greater
Than a mountain made of gold

For gold is cold and lifeless,
It cannot see or hear,
And in your times of trouble,
It is powerless to cheer

It has no ears to listen
No heart to understand.
It cannot bring you comfort
Or reach out a helping hand.

So when you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful that he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls, or riches,
But the love of a real, true friend.
