Silences make the real conversations between friends.  Not the saying, but the never needing to say is what counts.

Margaret Lee Runbeck 

Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Eleanor Roosevelt

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.

Douglas Pagels 

As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Colossians 3:12  

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word. I trust you to unfold my life and the people with whom I will meet. May others see You in me - in my smiling face and laughter – my actions and deeds – my words. Give me a love others can count on—a steadfast, unconditional, all-encompassing love that will not fail—like Yours. Thank you for memories. Thank you for friends you send my way. Thank you for opportunities to be a friend. Help me to be a good one. Amen.
