Hi, Sweet Friends,It has been too long. I know it has been when I have so much to talk about ;D
It has come to my attention that friendship is something many of us crave more than love. I did some research and found a very good bit of information; some good and some not so good.
Jesus said to His disciples:
“I no
longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s
business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I
learned from my Father I have made known to you” (John 15:15).
I have summarized it here so not to add to the rising plagiarism.
There are 3 Types of Friends
-
1. Friendships of Usefulness
-
2. Friendships of Mutual Respect

-
1. These are ones who come to you when they need something or want.
-
They are usually business partners, coworkers, and classmates.
-
2. These are friends whom have shared enjoyment. Buddies, pals, and fair weather friends fall into this category.
-
If you loose interest in the activity, then the friendship dies.
-
3.These are friends that stick together no matter what.
-
These are made with mutual respect and admiration for each other.
-
These enjoy your company, respect your friendship, and are the true friend. They are your friend simply because they like you.
-
This is the highest form of friendship.
-
It is not always in person; face to face.
There are many of us out there that have many friends, but very few True Friends. It is ok. Keep them close :D
Enjoy :D
