Mi Tres Amigos!


These are my friends. We have traveled many miles together. We have shared many enjoyable and happy times. Together, we have also endured times of great pain and heartache. They haven’t always responded the way that I wanted them to but I love them anyway. They are my friends. Conversely, I haven’t always treated them with the gentleness, honor and respect that they deserve. On a few sad occasions I have actually dropped them and now they bear the scars of my ineptitude. At others times I have gotten preoccupied with other things and simply neglected them. Yet, Each time I have returned to find them faithfully waiting right where I left them. There have been times that I have gotten so discouraged and frustrated with our relationship that I had crazy thoughts of simply giving up and walking away. But all it takes is one sweet song to remind me why we became friends in the first place.
Oh, wait, that reminds me of another friend I have………

John 15:15 …………now you are my friends, proved by the fact that I have told you everything the Father told me. (TLB)

Prov 18:24 ..…. but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (NIV)
