Friendship

There was a paralyzed man brought to Jesus on a stretcher in biblical times.  There was no room to pull him through the entrace, so the man’s four friends somehow got him up on the roof, and shingle by shingle tore the roof off that sucka until they had enough room to lower that man to Jesus for a long overdue miracle.

Those are the kind of friends that go the extra mile; that believe–in spite of all circumstances–all will be well.  Those are the kind of friends I need, and that’t the kind of friend I seek to be.

BMWK, if someone were to characterize what kind of friend YOU are, what do you think they would say?  I want to challenge to you to leave a comment of appreciation about one or two friends that will ball with you until you fall, then carry you until you can get up again and walk. We all have at least one.  Tell that person why you appreciate them today!

God bless!

    *Singing* “What a friend we have in Jesus…” I would be remiss if I left Him out!

    Well, obviously, my husband is in the number! This man refuses to allow my light to dim. He knows everything about me, and yet he still loves me. That’s amazing, because he has seen every facet, from the good, to the bad to the ugly…yet he still wants to spend the rest of his life with me. What manner of man is this? LOL

    My girl Maisha, one of the only people I know who is more sarcastic than me. I’ve seen her go through so much, yet she has still maintained her sense of humor. She has seen me go through some challenges as well, and she NEVER judged, she NEVER turned her nose up, and NEVER lied to me to make me feel better. She’s an honest broker, and you don’t run into that too often. Oh, and her husband is pretty cool, too! LOL

    My mom and my brother…they have been extremely patient and prayerful througout my entire life. My goodness…not enough space to tell them how much I appreciate all they are to me. And if my daddy were still here, I would say the same about him.

    Yes, Jesus first and foremost. Than my husband, who is supportive and comforting and I don’t ever question or doubt his loyalty. He has always been in my corner. And my mother, oh my goodness, I just told her the other day that even if she wasn’t my mother I would really to be a close friend of hers, because she is just such an awesome and wonderful person.

    I am 41 yrs old and have had two best friends for 35 yrs.(besides my sisters), they cry with you, they laugh with you and you get to share being in the “mommy club” together. A best friend will always listen but not be afraid to tell you “you are over reacting” or even tell you a thing or two about your faults. Don’t let us get together and put “Waiting to Exhale in the CD Player. LOL. A best friend will only hook you up with a blind date when you ask. I did ask and I got rewarded. I have a new best friend and he is my husband. I don’t think anything compares to a childhood best friend but being bleseed to gain new bffs along the way and everyone can get along just adds to this circle we call “LIFE”.
    FYI: My best friend that is my hubby does not share in the mommy club or the Waiting To Exhale sound track. If a woman goes over to a girlfriends house and does not take her husband a man does know his cue when you start talking about kids or put in the CD Player what they think is “man bashing music”. They know when to leave”.

    Friendship is the title of this post and friendship is so important. It lets you know you are loved and what you feel/ think and say are being heard.

    WOW! I truly don’t know where to start…

    First I would say god, he has been there when my marriage has been tested by a recent situation! My husband & my mom & Contrinnia. These three wonderful people that are in my life never ever sugarcoats or pacify me when I’m wrong!!

    I appreciate their honesty and love them all unconditionally!

    I love my life on this earth and they all keep me going!
