Friendship

I’m not good at expressing myself so when I stumbled across this video I was pretty happy. I think the greatest friend I’ve ever had is my wife. I met her at one of the lowest points of my life. All kinds of crappy stuff was happening and we just happened to become friends… then we got married! Friendship has come to mean a lot to me since then. I’ve always loved my friends but I just look at the whole thing differently now. I think friends used to just be about having somebody fun to hang out with. Now it’s something more. I’ve seen how friends have stood by my wife and I when we’ve had tough things to go through and we’ve stood by others too.

Even one of ancient Israel’s greatest kings knew the value of good friendship. Check out what he wrote like 3000 years ago: “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.” From Ecclesiastes chapter 4.
