Treasure Friendship
by: Sweetie_tin'z!
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with friendship."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson -Sent in by Inge
"A poem about Friendship"
"Dedicated to all of my friends"
True Friendship
True friendship isn't seen with the eyes, it is felt with the heart. When there is trust, understanding, loyalty, and sharing. True friendship is a rare feeling, but when it is found It has profound impact on our well-being, strength, and character. True friendship does not need elaborate gifts Or spectacular events in order to be valuable or valued. To ensure long-lasting quality and satisfaction, True friendship only needs a few key ingredients: Undying loyalty, unmatched understanding, unsurpassed trust, Deep and soulful secrets, and endless sharing. These ingredients, mixed with personality and a sense of humor, Can make a friendship last a lifetime! This is just a thank you, my friend, for all the wonderful and colorful Special ingredients You've brought to my life! Pass this on to such a friend!
Here are the trip of barkada....

Friendship
I've been thinking lately about friendship and those who are friends. It seems that there is almost no end to those trying to define 'friendship,' so who am I to buck the trend.
There are, of course, different degrees of friendship. Dan Bennett said, "Nothing in the world is friendlier than a wet dog." Having been the 'caregiver' for a couple of dogs, I can vouch for the truth of that statement. A dog seems more than ready to have you share in its condition of 'wetness.' But to my mind, that is not necessarily the best type of friendship in which to share.
Someone else said that friendship is when you are willing to give up something of yourself to or for your friend. Again, that may not always work out just as we think it should. I read of a couple of boys who were eyeing the last piece of pie. One said to the other, "You know a friend always wants his best friend to have the good stuff." Reaching for the pie he said, "Guess what, today I'm going to be your best friend!" When we have to share whether we want to or not, I'm not sure that's really an example of friendship.
Did you hear about the two friends who were out walking in the woods? They stumbled upon a mama bear and her two cubs. She reared up and gave a loud bellow of warning and rage at the two friends. One of the guys dropped down and began to pray, the other dropped down and tightened his shoelaces. The guy who was praying said, "What are you doing, you can't hope to outrun that bear." To which the second guy replied, "I don't have to out run the bear, I only have to out run you!" Of course the question is, "I thought you were my friend?"
True friendship requires something of us if we want to remain friends.That's not a new problem is it? Remember Judas who betrayed Jesus with a kiss. It's interesting what Jesus said to him when he did that in Matthew 26:49-50. Notice the verses, "And straight away he came to Jesus and said, 'Master!' and gave him a kiss. And Jesus said to him, 'Friend, do that for which you have come.' Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him." Notice that Jesus called him "friend," but the friendship was one-sided wasn't it? Proverbs 18:24 tells us, "A man who has friends must himself act like a friend, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Another translation of this verse reads, "There are 'friends' who destroy each other, but there is a real friend who sticks closer than a brother."
I guess the point I am trying to make is that true friendship requires something of us if we want to remain friends. True friendship can result in great comfort and support; however, it is a give and take situation. Sometimes we are on the receiving end, while other times we are on the giving end of the relationship. However, there is one friend who is always the giver, always the exhorter, and always the caregiver. That friend, of course, is Jesus Christ — our Lord and best friend.
The old hymn says, "What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! ... O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer." Will we allow Jesus to be our friend? Will we be a friend to him and share in the comfort and support which he alone can give us?
May our God grant us the understanding of the friendship he offers to us.
