A Friend at All Times

Your friendship affords a wonderful view . . .

For day by day I see Christ in you!

When blessings lift me up, you share.

When trials bend me low, you care.

When my talents lie untapped, you perceive.

When my goals are still a dream, you believe.

When my stubborn heart retreats, you seek.

When my failures need rebuke, you speak.

When hardness dulls my heart, you plead.

When I have lost my way, you lead.

When troubles overcome me, you hear.

When sadness overwhelms me, you cheer.

When heavy is my load, you pray.

When others turn away, you stay.

Thank you for the priceless gift of your friendship!

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart:  so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.  Faithful are the wounds of a friend.  Proverbs 27:9, 6

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.  Proverbs 27:17

Two are better than one:  because they have a good reward for their labour.  For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow:  but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.  Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
