April 23 - Be a Friend

"To have a friend, be a friend."

I have a friend that has taken this statement to heart. She is one of the people in my life that is always there to support me and my family, no matter what. It is not just me that she is a friend to. She is a friend to so many and in turn she has many friends.

She is quick to write a note to let people know how important they are to her.

She is always there to lend a hand and help a friend. Just this week she knew that my family was having a busy week and she brought dinner over, because she knew my kids would probably be eating cereal for supper.

Her house is often full of kids, because every kid is welcome at her house. All the parents know that the kids are safe and cared for at her house.

She babysits for friends, so they can attend important events without worrying about their children.

She prays for the many friends that she has made over the years. She does not just say “I will pray for you.” She actually does!

Most of all she is willing to listen.

I hope that I can be a friend to each of you, as my friend has been to me. --- To have a friend, I must be a friend.

Blessings
