The Power of Friendship

Sometimes, all it takes to have a good day is a great friend. From Anna, who got up at the crack of dawn to run three miles with me in the freezing cold, to Cara who kept my head up after a tough, leg burning workout at the track, to Shelby who indulged in frozen yogurt with me just to talk about life, to Sarah who took a break from schoolwork just to chat with me and fiddle around on Pinterest for a while...my friends gave me a permanent smile today. God puts people like this in our lives to make us better people. He gives us friends as blessings in human form. I thank God today for all of these blessings He has given me. He uses them to show us the power of human care, affection, and love. He uses them to show us that we can put our faith and trust in others just as we can in Him. I'm so sorry that this post is so short, but it is exactly to the point that I wanted to get across to God. I want Him to know how much my friends mean to me. I want Him to know that I cherish the relationships with those people for I know that they are a result of God's love for me. Thank God for your friends. Cherish those relationships, for each friend was especially picked for you by Him.
