Sunday Meditation--Friends


Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer
Henri Nouwen


Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
Plautus


The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.
Henri Nouwen


Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
Oprah Winfrey


Romans 12:9 Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.  (The Message)
