Friendship

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friendship is a fellowship of kindred spirits who finds time to be with each other and understand each other's idiosyncracies. It is always humble, forgiving and patient. It does not domineer over the other, considerate always of the others preference and judgment.

When you are with friends, you feel at home with them, you let down your hair as they say, but, beware, you also have to be circumspect in their company, don't give too much of yourself away. Like a husband and wife relationship, one should have a mystery of one's life so that there's a little wonderment every time to make the relationship interesting.

You are all human beings, expect something to change and expect that you will be turned off one day with a behavior or actuation that you didn't expect to see from your friend. Trust me, all of you have those and you will be surprised if you know your friends the way they really are, you wouldn't have befriended them.

People tend to show their best foot forward, to attract other people, to make friends. The dirty and ugly "foot" is hidden to be occasionally shown or let slip a few times. If the friendship holds, well and good, if not, then you make friends with someone who can accept you the way you showed yourself up to others.

Nothing is constant in this world, friendship is like shifting sand in the seashore. It changes every time the tide comes in and draws out. Don't pin your hopes that your friendship will last forever. Some of it will, some, rather most of it will be like the sand that is taken by the waves as it rolls in and out of your shoreline. With some friends, let go like the seashore who doesn't hold back the sand on its coastline. See, how beautiful they become with the washing of the tide.

You will find friends that are really true and loyal to you, kindred spirits who understand each other's folly and inane actions. Keep friends who love Me as well, because with that love, your friendship will be stronger.
