THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR....

February already....time sure is flying in 2010. Maybe it has nothing to do with the year...but the years of my life. It's been said "the older you get , the faster time goes". Also, "time flies when you're having fun". Either could fit my situation. I don't know why I'm writing about time passing quickly because it has nothing to do with this post. Maybe it does....I'm talking about February....started to write about the one I love (my husband), but will save that for later. Instead, I'll write about friends. I hope that you are blessed with a best friend...can't imagine life without one. Today I will tell you what I love about my best friend.
  • She knows every thing about me (good & bad) and still loves me.
  • She will buy me something for Christmas and tell me what to do with it....not only tell me, but come rearrange my entire bedroom in doing so.
  • She will call and tell me that she is bringing pizza to my house for dinner if she knows I've had a very bad day.
  • She will take things from my attic (and any other place) to make my mantel look great.
  • She will tell me that I need to add more pillows on my bench (that I thought looked great) and I know that she told the truth.
  • She will call me most every day .... just because we have to check in.
  • She will meet me at the oral surgeon's office because she knows I'm scared to death of a dentist.
  • She decorated my Christmas tree one year. I had just put it up when my aunt passed away....it has never looked that good again.
  • She will be able to look at me and know exactly what I am thinking.
  • She will take things from my "throw away" pile and use it in her house and make me covet.
  • She loves old things (I'm not talking about me).
  • She loves me.... no matter what.........................!!!!

Sue, you need to read the book "The Girls From Ames." It's a about women's friendships-- a great read.

I have a friend like that who is not afraid to "Clean my clock" and tell me if I am doing something wrong. Just yesterday I was reading the verse... "Faithful are the wounds of a friend... Proverbs 27:6 a
