Friends come, friends go,
same old, others new
Some young, some old
Some close, some… just to say hello
Aquaintences we share special moments with
Others a smile or a niceties while waiting in line
Clients that are special, turned friends…so sublime
Ones that hold your hand when you are going through a rough time
Your 2 a.m. friends you can call in the middle of the night
To help soothe your soul and make everything turn on a dime
Friends that text
Friends that call
Some drop out and appear again, on and off
Word Press friends, turned friends of heart
Some you can count on, some you can’t
Friends to chat with, some to just hit like
Friends to golf or play tennis with
Some are hiking buddies or exercise friends
Some to play games with or share a meal
Some to write with and read our work
Some that pick up the phone and say “you’ll never guess”
Others who zoom or others who face time
Some hold you when you cry
Others sigh and never ask why
Our animal friends… with us till they die
Friends make the ride worthwhile
Where we can laugh so hard, we cry
And be exactly how we truly are or who we aren’t
They will be completely honest with us
And have our back even if we don’t agree.
Friends that share our secrets and our heart
Friends to the bitter end, til death do us part…..
There’s only a few of them.
One thing is true too;
Our old friends will always be new friends when our memories slow
New friends are needed when our dear old, new friends, go
May we always have friends like I have found in you.
I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship lately here on and off the page. I truly feel blessed by our friendship. We are really lucky to have each other during all of the changes and uncertainty we have all gone through this past year and a half. It’s such a gift we can share and offer insight and understanding as we navigate our lives moving foward. Friendship is the corner stone where we all can be valued, heard, appreciated and accepted for who we are which is why I marked so many tags here. It is what feeds us spiritually and emotionally and our lives are made richer and more whole by each or our contributions and honest sharing. If you look at what truly sustains us all, it’s not money and stuff but love and caring of our souls.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring for mine and for your friendship and visit today❣️

Aww thank you soo much for your love and kindness dear❤️ That’s soo sweet of you to check on me dear, am grateful truly🤗🤗🤗
Just busy settling down setting up the house and everything. We shifted here itself in Doha, it’s just that this apartment is in a compound, so better for my son as all the facilities, play area are within. Previous house was stand alone apartment building so we were all packed up. Besides, all schools are also nearby. I couldn’t reply your message you asked me where was I shifting to, so sorry for that. Rest all of us are doing good. 😊❤️❤️ Thank you and back at you dear🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
You’re sooo welcome.. But of course I would.
Oh my I figured the move was taking time. you mean you moved to another spot there it sounds. Oh that’s so great he will have more fun with play facilities and that the schools are close by. That’s awesome. So glad you are all well and getting settled💖💖❣️ Thanks sooooo much.. xoxoxo 💖❤️
Yes dear to another spot here and he is having fun here going to the play area with kids around. Hopefully this week I will post, didn’t get time all the while setting up everything, it’s such a huge process to shift with all your stuff to another unfurnished one. Aren’t you going to that place with your family get together you were taking about?? Hope you must be planning out for another fam fun❤️😊🤗
Take care dear, ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗
Oh that’s great and moving is huge!!!! Take you’re time… Once you’re back… you’re back. I have to start limiting my posting truly 🤣🤣🤣fingers crossed. Well, long story here on that one… we’re not going to go but we will go alone and maybe a couple of kids will join us.. we’ll see.. life get’s complicated with so many irons in rthe fire. big hugs and love today❣️❣️❣️
Oh, I too am thinking to post alternate Saturdays.. It really gets complicated sometimes.. 😊 Thank you soo much for your love always dear, back to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
GREAT IDEA Samreen… then you wouldn’t be overwhelmed… 💖❤️❤️🌷🌷🌷you’re welcome and thanks so much💖❣️
That sounds like a really good plan!!
You’ve got a lot on your plate getting settled and this takes a lot of time. Welcome always dear💖❤️❤️🌷🌷

Thank you soooo much. Good for you Roselyn. 💖💖

Very true, very true. What are we without friends. The relationship is so powerful that it exceeds all the other relationships that we have. So we want our parents, children, relatives to be like friends.
I’m just finding your comment here in approval.. sorry about that. Yes I so much agree. and yet we need to be parents to our kids first and hope we can manage a friendship later as well. thanks for the visit💖
Cool Cindy. It happens that at times our comments lands up in the spam folder.

Thanks for sharing Cindy. I am an introvert ,and I am extremely thankful to the friends who respects my silence and MiA moments. In a world where people are fighting to be seen and recognized, I hang on to those caring individuals who respect your ‘invisible ‘ days
It’s great you are introspective about yourself and great you have friends that respect that as well💖
Good stuff, Cindy. I’m grateful for our WP-forged friendship & look forward to getting that coffee together sometime soon! 🌞😘🌼

Awesome post here Friend.
Truly, friends are important, and they are the people who we go through life with. However, the quality of one’s friends matter. When I think of a great friendship, I think of the friendship of David and Jonathan in the Bible. Jonathan loved David like a brother, and he was willing to do anything for him. That is a great story. However, friends like Jonathan are hard to find. The greatest friend of all, who is always there for us when no one is there for us, is God. God cares for us like no one else, we do not need a phone to call him because he is always with us, he is not human, so he is actually perfect, he is rich and can bless us according to his riches etc. However, the issue is that God is often seen as a distant character that watches us from afar, however, God does make friends with people, and it is possible to be close to God and have a relationship with him.
The Bible says in James 2:23
And so it happened just as the Scriptures say: “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”He was even called the friend of God.
Interestingly enough, while a person is friends with God, God knows that they need human friends too, and he is able to bless them with friends who care for them as much as Jonathan cared for his friend David.
The tie that binds it all together is God. God is the King.
If anyone reading is interested in building a relationship with God, I have a post on that here: https://christcenteredruminations.wordpress.com/2018/08/29/how-to-build-a-relationship-with-god/
There is much more to know about God. I post frequently on my blog about topics related to God. You are welcome to follow my blog to keep up with my content.
-All the best. May God bless you.
Thank you very much and all of life’s blessings of love to you as well and God Bless.💖🙏
Thank you
pleasure!💖
