I've had a lot of great friendships in my almost 25 (I can't believe I'm almost this old) years of life. I've known some people in my life for a long time, and some people just a few months, and I'm thankful for them all. I'm thankful that I have friends who challenge me. I'm thankful that I have friends who love me unconditionally, because let's face it, I'm not perfect. I'm thankful that I have friends who pray for me. I'm thankful that I have friends that will just sit and listen to me ramble, but then offer me love and grace. I'm thankful that I have friends who fulfill my love languages (quality time and words of affirmation). I'm thankful that I have friends who would go to the ends of the earth for me. I'm thankful that I have friends that I can be real with. I'm thankful that I have friends who always keep me laughing, smiling, and make my days so much brighter.
Most of all, I'm thankful that the Lord has bestowed this great blessing of friendship in my life. I don't have the act of being a "good" friend perfected, but the Lord has allowed me to really invest in some great people, and have some great people invest in me.
Thank you, sweet Jesus.
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
