How long is it from when you first meet someone does it take for you to call them a friend? An hour,day, or is it a year? Is a friend someone that you confide your deepest darkest secrets to yet all the while do you fear what they will thank of you? Does a friend have to be your age or social scene?
To me a friend is all of these questions an so much more! There was a time in my life that if I didn't know you since highschool then I didn't trust you with anything other than a Hello! The Scriptures say that Heavdnly Father knows what we are in need of even before we ask it of him! Looking back I can see how some of my friends your those answers to un-said prayers! I am do thankful for all the new friends that came into my life as a result of having the Gospel in my life! Some of these friends I meet during the process of the change that occurs in your life through the Atomement process! They have seen me at my worst yet still love me! It amazes me daily how I can be loved, accepted, and wanted in my life by strangers(or atleast who most plp would define as strangers) an still be hated an cruified by the very people I share DNA with! Your home, family, and friends are suppose to be a place of refuge when the storms of life overtake you! I have never had that until the last cpl of years ! It totally amazes me that I can call across country an say I need you, an they stop what's going on in their life to listen or pray for me!
Yet my own flesh an blood would rather murder me with thier tongue!
I guess sometimes the greatest challenges in our life is our family! But I am greatful for the friends that Heavenly Father has sent my way ! Heavenly Father know me an know excatly I need ! I thank him daily for : Kenzi, Biff, Lolu, Ash, Nisey, Glenna an of course the M&M in my life! I would be eternally lost without you! I'll love you all till the day I take my last breathe an beyound!!
