Phillipians 4:13

The strength to resist the nightThe strength to endure the dayThe strength to keep righteous paths in sightThe strength to take them without delayThe strength to find a purpose in lifeThe strength to find the truths it bringsThe strength to kick away from strifeThe strength to stabalize the rock it clingsThe strength to light a friend’s day upThe strength to resist wrathful foesThe strength to fill a stranger’s dry cupThe strength to shun sin when it opposedThe strength to feel a injured man’s painThe strength to hold a reject’s handThe strength to act against any gainThe strength to love without demandThe strength to understand that our KingHas blessed us with more than we can containTherefore regardless what time may bringThe strength will continue to reign

Portrait of a Friend

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,nor the future with its untold stories.But I can be there now when you need me to care.I can't keep your feet from stumbling.I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;Yet I can share in your laughter.Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;I can only support you, encourage you,and help you when you ask.I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,from your values, from me.I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,room to be yourself.I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,But I can cry with you and help you pick up the piecesand put them back in place.I can't tell you who you are.I can only love you and be your friend.

A True Friend

Accepts you as you are

Believes in "you"

Calls you just to say "HI"

Doesn't give up on you

Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)

Forgives your mistakes

Gives unconditionally

Helps you

Invites you over

Just because

Keeps you close at heart

Loves you for who you are

Makes a difference in your life

Never Judges

Offers support

Picks you up

Quiets your fears

Raises your spirits

Says nice things about you

Tells you the truth when you need to hear it

Understands you

Values you

Walks beside you

Xxoxoxoxxxoooxxoxo

Yells when you won't listen and

Zaps you back to realityMay we always be "good buddies"

May we always be good friendsand may our friendship be the kindthat never ends...

Got to Love Sundays

Got to Love Sundays!

Friendship

May Our Friendship Last Forever

May our friendship last forever;May I sail upon your sea.May we go through life together;
May there always be a "we."
May I be your endless sky;
May you breathe my gentle air.
May you never wonder why
Each time you look for me, I'm there.
May we be for each a smileLike the warm, life-giving sun;
Yet when we're in pain awhile,
May our suffering be one.
May we share our special days,
The happiness of one for two;
And if we must go separate ways,
Let my love remain with you.
