| Friends love through all kinds of weather, and families stick together in all kinds of trouble. Proverbs 17:17 (The Message Bible) |
 |
| A man who has friends must himself be friendly . . . |
 |
| . . . but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 |
 |
| Ointment and perfume delight the heart, and the sweetness of a man's friend does so by hearty counsel. Proverbs 27:9 |
 |
| As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Proverbs 27:17 |
He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips,
the
king will be his friend. Proverbs 22:11
Do not forsake your own
friend or your father's friend, nor go to your brother's house in
the day of your calamity; for better is a neighbour nearby than a brother
far away. Proverbs 27 :10
Faithful are the wounds of a friend,
but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Proverbs 27:6
But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the
descendants of Abraham, My friend. You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and
called from it's farthest regions, and said to you, "You are My servant, I
have chosen you and have not cast you away. Fear not, for I am with you,
be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will
help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:8-10
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. You are my friends is you do whatsoever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from my Father I have mad known to you. John 15:13-15
" . . . Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness". And he was called the friend of God. James 2:23
. . . but I hope to see you shortly, and we shall speak face to face. Peace to you. Our friends greet you. Greet the friends by name. 3 John 1:14
Thank you to all my friends who have prayed for me and sent such sweet greetings as I recuperate from my surgery. So blessed to call you friends.
ReplyDeleteNice post Andrea - how are hobbling along today?
ReplyDeleteAnother great post, Andrea. First I was going to say that my favorite photo was the one of the two little girls walking hand in hand in their pink outfits. But then, I think it might be the two ladies on the bench, chatting away.
