30 Days of Thankfulness - Day 7: Friendships

Proverbs 17:17 - A friend loves at all times...

Today I am thankful for the many wonderful people in my life that I call my friends.  I found a beautiful poem that describes friendship in a way that I would never be able to put to words.  I thought I would share that in honor of EACH and EVERY one of my friends.  You know who you are.  I thank God for each of you and I thank each of you for accepting me for me.  Love you all!
A real friend...
Accepts you as you are
Believes in you
Calls you just to say "hi"
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you without reservation
Invites you over for no particular reason
Just to be with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never gives up on you
Offers support
Prays for you regularly
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values your input
Walks beside you
X-plains things you don't understand
Yells when you won't listen
Zaps you back to reality
