REAL FRIENDS
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your
refrigerator and helps himself (and doesn't feel even the least bit weird
shutting your 'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!)
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy
from your tears..
A ! simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend
has
their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend
comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed. A real
friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend
seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend
expects to always be there for you!
A simple friend reads this e-mail and deletes it. A real friend passes it
on and sends it back to you!
Pass this on to anyone you care about......if you get it back you have no
beginning, no end. It keeps us together, like our Circle of Friends.
Today I pass this on to you. Pass it on to someone who is a friend to
you... ... God is up to something
