A Blessed Thing To Have A Friend

A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend; one human soul whom we can trust utterly; who knows the best and the worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults; who will speak the honest truth to us, while the world flatters us to our face, and laughs at us behind our backs; who will give us counsel and reproof in the day of prosperity and self-conceit; but who, again, will comfort and encourage us in the day of difficulty and sorrow, when the world leaves us alone to fight our own battle as we can.          ~Charles Kingsley

To a Friend

I'd like to be the kind of friend That you ahve been to me; I'd like to be the special help That you've been glad to be. I know I'm blessed for only God Can make a friend like you; You know just how to cheer me up Whenever I feel blue. Could I but have one wish fulfilled, This one only would it be-- I'd like to be the kind fo friend You've always been to me.                    ~Author Unknown

I said a Prayer for you Today

I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard; I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke not a word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew you wouldn't mind); I asked for pricesless treasures rare Of a more lasting kind. I prayed that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings fair, And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But that you'd know His loving care I prayed the most of all.                 ~Author Unknown
