A Friend Is A Friend #475

A Friend Is A Friend

Proverbs 18:24 “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.”

Proverb 17:17 “A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity,”

John 15:13”Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Everyone loves to have friends. It is special when one can trust someone to be there for you. Of, course there is no one that fits this like Jesus. He is always there, he understands, and is on call 24 hours a day.

However, it is also good to have a friend as we take our journey here in this life. The writer says you must show yourself to be a friend if you want a friend. That means that whether you agree or disagree from time to time you are always there to listen and care for this one that sticks close to you.

Friends love us at all times and when good times come they are present to celebrate with us. Likewise, when bad times come our way they are first on the scene to hold our hand and encourage us to make it thru the day until light comes our way.

In our life we have had and do have friends that love and place their lives on the line today that we might enjoy the freedoms we have in our lives. Over the years many of them have bravely died in other lands fighting wars to keep war from our land.

Today, we have many such hero’s and friends standing all over the world working and dying to keep war off our soil. During this Memorial Day Weekend, I pray we will take a moment to remember all who have given some, those who have given all, and those who are giving right now so we can work and play and enjoy all that God has blessed us with.

Thank you one and all for being my friend and giving your all for me and my family today. You are not forgotten in our home and we appreciate you.




1John 1: 9 “If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sinsins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
