What is a Friend

What is a friend?

What does it mean to be a friend? Or even have a friend? Do you show up like a car at a gas station ready to fuel up for the long ride. Or do you get enough for the moment?
Bible Benefits: A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. [Proverbs 18:24]


Life Help: "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." [Ecclesiastes 4:9-12]

I got Friends... I got friends for the long distance road trip called life. If I stumble if I fall, thank God I got friends. In the wee hours of the morning, the phones may ring. So what if my body is droopy and tired. Friendship is calling. We respond like Firefighter's in the middle of the night. It's our job to extinguish all flames of hurt. We are sworn to protect and serve. Get out of the way, Friendship is our duty. We police emotions and arrest crimes of despair. Don't mess up-- Friendship is always there!

  1. Honey, I've learned the HARD way, but she I had to take the title of "friend" from her whether she knows it or not. Yes, Lady P.

    A true friend has your best interest even when YOU don't. To tell your ass NO, THAT IS NOT RIGHT and she didn't do that. She encouraged negative, immoral, unethical and plan wrong and bag behavior. Even though we are ultimately responsible for the choices we make..the person helping pushing you and cheering you on.. isn't all that innocent. Misery loves company, so when you are drowning don't reach for her ass. It was fun while it lasted, but its time for me to get off this ride. No I am not claiming to be the perfect friend, but I can confidently say I wasn't toxic either..life goes on!
