The Power of Friendship
There are some people we come into the lives of that are blessings in disguse. They are more than chance encounters, they are divine appointments. The word says a friend is born for the day of adversity. That is a word in season. Living in a time which values the dollar bill and values the opinion of man for the survival and success in life. Having someone in your corner is a treasure. There are people who enlighten your life with laughter,love, wisdom, truth,concern,forgiveness,correction and just value. These are treasures that are not tangible but they are treasures to behold. The power of friendship is it can cover you,strengthen you, equip you, release you and bring you into a knowledge that can even save you. Friends are people who see your nakedness and speak to your successs in spite of it. They embrace you when you're broken and speak words that mend emotional scars they don't even want others to see. They bless you with what sometimes sound like an offence when in reality it is a means to help save you from yourself. They want only the best for you and celebrate you when you've obtained it. They warn you of danger and help to steer you in the path that enlightens your life and not add strife and harm. Friends are live David and Johnathan they love and can love without barriers, positions or hiden agendas. They become your eyes and ears for you and tell you what they hear to help you walk in your freedom. They belong to a special group, no they are not angels, they simple walk in the midst of you with eyes that see and ears that hear and arms that catch. If you have a friend like this you are blessed. If you seek a friend like this. PRAY. Perhaps you may stumble in life into the life of someone else who asked for you and treasured you when you came into theirs.

Sis thanks for what you have said here. I was reading an article relating to how stay home moms (although I am not a SAHM) need connections and friendships with other moms to bring balance in their lives. I could seriously relate to that as well as your blog. I used to think when I was a bit younger and less wiser that I didn't need friends and that my sisters were too troublesome. I have since wised up and seek out wholesome friendships with other sisters that can add to me and "deposit" knowledge, truth, and wisdom in my life. Again Sister Vernell, thanks again for this wonderfully thoughtful blog post.
