Ok, I’m pretty sure this is kind of a trick question but alas I shall go ahead and answer it.
I think that life gives us many ‘friends’ throughout our life time, however, as my mother has always told me, we will only have a handful of TRUE, REAL friends in our lifetime. As a youngster when my other said this (and other things) I didn’t always agree completely, but who always agrees with their mother when they’re a kid? But with this (along with multiple other things) my mother was 200% right!! She sure is a smart cookie that lady 🙂
In this post, in answering the question asked, I will refer to my friends who are those true and real friends in my life, if they read this post I am sure they will know who I am talking about.
I think that my friends are phenomenal. They’re there for me when I need them and I hope that I am there for them too. I can rely on them, I can trust them, without trust there really cannot be a ‘true’ friendship. We’ve been through good times, and we’ve been through bad times, yet the key is that we got through all of those times and our friendships were improved because of them.
I love my friends with all of my heart, both in SA and USA. I know that there have being times in my 12 years over here that I would NOT have survived had it not been for my friends and their support.
In summation……..I have to say that I think my friends are the ‘bomb’!! I love them, their love, their support, and most importantly their ability to put up with ME!!!! 🙂
I love the saying of, People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for this great comment. I couldn’t agree more!!!
