A friend is someone who, when she comes over for supper, you don't feel the need to pick the crumbs out of your butter first. You don't rush to scrub your bathrooms, you don't do your kids' hair, you don't even pick the clothes up out of the floor because the last time you were at her house it was so messy you couldn't believe it and when you saw it you just smiled to yourself and whispered
Thank You, Lord.
A friend is thrilled for you when something good happens. She might wish it for herself too, and she even might be a little jealous but prays herself through it. But even more than that, she prays
you through it.
She doesn't demand all your time. Yet when your life falls apart, she's there in a flash. When you mess up and things are all out of whack, she's there. And she doesn't judge but instead comes clean about what she's thinking. And still you don't feel condemned because she knows your heart even when it seems no one else does. She does the one thing you need the most. She points you toward Jesus.
A good friend loves at all times--loves you, loves your kids, loves your man, loves your parents. She even loves your dogs.
Lord, may I be that kind of friend.

To me a friend is someone who will think of me as fast as he/her would think of themselves. And I wouldn't consider myself a good friend to someone unless I put their needs, above my own.
Those that I thought were friends ended our friendship the minute I went in for back surgery
true friendship is hard to find. But, there are those are fortunate enough to know a real friend. I have a few and thank goodness, I'd be lost without them even though we have out own lives. I don't ask for anything from them but they accept me as I am since we were like 14-15...
