"My friend, we stand, two of a kind, laughing in the wind, lifting each other up, helping each other stand straight and tall, growing old together and blessing each other."
True Friends
What are true friends? There are a lot of cards with fancy verses and lovely sentiments inside so this has probably been expressed many times. I don't mind saying it again, though.
True friends are those who are there for you when you need them, who put you first, when that is what is needed, those you depend on and those you know you can depend on. They are there for you to help you through the hard times, encourage you when you need it, and be truthful to you. True friends are those you can trust and be honest with.
A while ago, I was attending a meeting about a new business venture. I arrived a bit early and another person was there early as well. We struck up a conversation and shared a bit of information about ourselves while waiting for others to arrive.
When the meeting got started the business opportunity was presented. Low and behold my information that I had shared got worked right into the sales pitch! What I had thought was interest in me as a person was just interest in getting my information to use in a sales pitch.
Maybe that is the kind of friendship some people are satisfied with but I desire and treasure true friendships.
