Friends....

I am not exactly sure why this is, but seriously all of my life I have been blessed to have great friends. What constitutes a great friend?....I'm sure the answer is different for everyone. For me a great friend....doesn't pull any punches....meaning when I'm acting stupid...they call me on it. When they feel strongly about something I'm doing or something I'm about to do they make sure they voice their opinion. They kick me in the butt...when I'm slacking...or just listen when I need to vent. They are my biggest supporters...but would also not hesitate to slap me in the head if that's what they feel I needed. On my blackest most darkest days...these friends have cried with me and prayed for me and were just there when I needed them. Without even having to be asked ...they are there with no thought about what they are giving or the time they are spending on me. I am not exactly sure why I've been so blessed but I am thankful for the examples that they have shown me....and I pray that I may be that type of friend to those around me to whoever I meet....because everyone deserves to have someone in their corner.
