TGFF

Thank Goodness for Friends

TRUE FRIENDS

celebrate with you,
not for the sake of their own success
but because their hearts smile when you are smiling

TRUE FRIENDS

cry with you,
not for the sake of their own pain
but because their hearts hurt when you are hurting

TRUE FRIENDS

know to pray,
even when you are all out of words

TRUE FRIENDS

reach out to hold your hand and keep you going
when you do not have the strength to move

TRUE FRIENDS

pick you up
when you are falling apart

TRUE FRIENDS

love you the most
when you are the biggest mess

TRUE FRIENDS

give you hope
when yours has run out.

TRUE FRIENDS

have the courage to be honest
even when that means sharing the hard truth

TRUE FRIENDS

Depend on God’s grace,
not your ability to be a perfect person

TRUE FRIENDS

Are angels from above,
and they don’t even know it

A prayer for today-

Dear God,

Thank you for my friends.  Young and old, near and far, new and way back, they are true gifts from you.  They are your loving arms when I need them the most.  I pray for them today.  Bless them, Lord.  Let this prayer reach their hearts and fill them with the power of your love.

In the name of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit I pray,
Amen

Grace and peace,
