Rambling Fridays: Give It Up for Friends!

The Bible declares that Jesus is a friend 

that is closer to us than a brother (or sister...)

“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend” 
― Albert Camus

Ah, the friend who doesn't mind what the crowd says. 

He's too interested in conversing with you! 

**

“A friend is someone who knows all about you 

and still loves you.” 
― Elbert Hubbard

Now, that's real friendship.

Doesn't matter if you've argued.

Or if you disagree.

Or even dislikes you for a bit.

He/She still loves you just because

you're friends.

**

“It is not a lack of love, 

but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” 
― Friedrich Nietzsche

When your partner in marriage is not only

a husband/wife, lover, hero, etc.

but also a friend,

then, my friend, you surely have a wonderful marriage!

**

"Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer."

Jean de La Fontaine

As the Bible says, who has found a good woman 

had found a good thing.

So it is with friendship.

True ones come far between and are few in number.

If you're fortunate enough to have gained one,

cherish that friendship.

You may never get another.

Happy weekend, my readers!
