THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP ~Once the package of friendship has been opened, it can never be closed. It is a constant book always written... waiting to be read...and enjoyed. We may have our disagreements... we may argue... we may concern one another... friendship is a unique bond that lasts through it all.... A part of me is put into my friends... some it is my humor... some it is my listening ear... some it is real life experiences... some it is my romanticism... but with all, it is friendship. Friendships forged are a construct stronger than steel built as a foundation.... necessary for life... and necessary for love. Friends, you and me.... you brought another friend... and then there were 3... we started our group... Our circle of friends... and like that circle... there is no beginning or end...~ ~author unknown~
~A good friend is someone to do nothing much with and find "nothing much" so much fun. A good friend is talking and talking about everything under the sun. A good friend is someone who really is glad when you've worked for and won a success, Someone you don't have to be on your guard with or be what you aren't to impress. A good friend is so many wonderful someones all mixed in a marvelous blend Of memory making, of giving and taking, a "now and forever" Good Friend.~ anonymous
THANK YOU Thank you for believing in me when I found it difficult to believe in myself... for saying what I've needed to hear sometimes, instead of what I've wanted to hear... for siding with me... and for giving me another side to consider. Thank you for opening yourself up to me... for trusting me with your thoughts and disappointments and dreams... for knowing you can depend on me and for asking my help when you've needed it. Thank you for putting so much thought and care and imagination into our friendship... for sharing so many nice times and making so many special memories with me. Thank you for always being honest with me being kind to me...being there for me. Thank you for being a friend to me in so many meaningful ways. -- by Larry S. Chengges
GOD MUST HAVE KNOWN..... God must have known there would be times> We'd need a word of cheer> Someone to praise a triumph> Or brush away a tear. He must have known we'd need to share The joy of "little things" In order to appreciate> The happiness life brings.I think he knew our troubled hearts Would sometimes throb with pain At trials and misfortunes Or some goals we can't attain. He knew we'd need the comfort Of an understanding heart To give us strength and courage To make a fresh, new start.
