What Is a Friend?

Someone who will laugh with you, someone who will cry with you. Someone who'd drop everything they were doing in any given moment just to pray with you. Someone you could call in the middle of the night with no hesitation. Through hard time's they are there, holding you up. A friend will rejoice when you rejoice, and weep when you weep. They will fight right next to you in battle, making sure you do not have the heavier load. When wounded they wont leave your side until you are back on your feet. A friend would give their life for you with out even thinking about it. They will not let a small or even big thing ruin the relationship, and will always try to mend a broken one. They are honest, and trust worthy.

A friend is not someone earned, but they are a gift form God. Not one of us can ever be a perfect friend. We will fail the people in our lives over, and over again. But its what we do when we fail, that will make or brake our relationship. I thank God for my relationships here on earth. But I thank Him even more for the friend I have in Jesus!

"What a friend we have in Jesus. All our griefs and sins to bear. What a privilege to carry, everything to God in prayer!"

Man's Best Friend

Some people wonder how could dog be man's best friend.
They're not demanding, understanding,
Loving through and through.
They're always sharing, giving, caring;
Devoted unto you.
Their tails wag, they never nag;
They're faithful to the end.
And this is why men will find
A dog is man's best friend.

I can't help this saying (dog is man's best friend) come to mind when working with my German Shepherd. A well raised dog is loyal to the death, & completely loves his/her owner despite how the owner may treat the dog. It amazes me that God not only saved us from an eternal life in hell, but gave us such an amazing creature to love and care for. A man can have such an amazing bond with their dog and it can't be explained. Their loyalty, unconditional love, companionship, and faithfulness in doing their job is what makes them a dog, but it is also what makes them "man's best friend". I thank God for this amazing animal that he has given me!
