Friendship Thoughts


Friends are such special blessings in life.  
Here are some of my thoughts on true friends...
  • They have open and honest communication.
  • They laugh...a lot...
  • Friends are there for one another, no matter how busy they are.
  • They share in each other's celebrations and disappointments.
  • They provide support and care.
  • They reciprocate.  Friendship is not one-sided.
  • There is a freedom to talk openly without fear of judgement.
  • Friends protect each other.
  • They make each other smile.
  • They invest effort into each other's lives.
  • They consider each other's feelings.
  • Friends understand and support each other's unique quirks 
  • They forgive.
  • They pray for each other.
  • They make time for each other.
  • Friends believe the best in one another.
  • They take on burdens for each other.
  • They have inside jokes.
  • Friends give of themselves to one another each day.
  • They learn from one another.
  • Friends trust each other.
  • They honor each other's insecurities.
  • They give each other compliments.
  • Friends encourage each other.
  • They challenge each other to grow.
  • They never give up on each other.
  • Friends listen and honor each other's feelings.
  • They provide a shoulder to lean on.
Friends understand that friendship itself is one God's greatest blessings, never to be taken for granted.

I'm so thankful for true friends in my life.
