Friendship...

Have you ever thought about friendship and what it means in our lives? 

Children usually come home from their first day at school to tell their mother they have made new friend. They play with these  friends, fall out with them too and then make it up again.

For many of us our friendships go back to those long ago schooldays.
Later in life we make friends in sports clubs, at university or at work. Maybe we become friends with our neighbours. 

Isn’t it nice to pay tribute to those friendships at the important times in our friends’lives?  Maybe it’s your best female friend's birthday for instance.  So why not give a little speech about what she means to you and wish her well? It could be that you are asked to be best man at your friend’s wedding. Wouldn’t it be a pleasure to toast the happy couple? If you lose a friend isn’t it good to be able to share your memories in a eulogy to a friend.

Good friends are listeners when you need them... 

They are happy to share in your good news... 

They give you sympathy and understanding when times are bad and encouragement when you are discouraged... 

No matter how far away he or she may live a good friend is always at the other end of the phone...

You should work at your friendships because they are precious things. They are about giving as well as taking. A good friend is appreciative. Such a friend lifts you up when you are blue and will talk halfway through the night with you. They make your world a better place...



Let's appreciate what we have...
