FRIENDS, A TRUE BLESSING
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on. It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.
I like you because of who you are to me....A true friend! Remember a True Friend teaches us:
1) That one
should keep his
words both soft and
tender, because
tomorrow he
may have to eat
them.
2) That life is like
a roll of toilet
paper. The closer it
gets to the end, the
faster
it goes.
3) That we should be
glad God doesn't
give us everything
we ask for.
4) That money
doesn't buy class.
5) That it's those
small daily
happenings that make
life so spectacular.
6) That under
everyone's hard
shell is someone who
wants to be
appreciated
and loved.
7) That the Lord
didn't do it all in
one day. What makes
me think I can?
8) That to ignore
the facts does not
change the facts.
9) That when you
plan to get even
with someone, you
are only letting
that
person continue to
hurt you.
10) That love, not
time, heals all
wounds.
11) That the easiest
way for me to grow
as a person is to
surround myself with
people smarter than
I am.
12) That everyone
you meet deserves to
be greeted with a
smile.
13) That there's
nothing sweeter than
sleeping with your
babies and feeling
their breath on your
cheeks.
14) That no one is
perfect until you
fall in love with
them.
15) That when your
new born child holds
your little finger
in his little fist,
you're hooked for
life.
16) That I can't
choose how I feel,
but I can choose
what I do about it.
17) That when you
harbor bitterness,
happiness will dock
elsewhere.
18) That I wish I
could have told
those I cared about
that I love them one
more
time before they
passed away.
20) That a smile is
an inexpensive way
to improve your
looks.
Plainly, don’t
get short changed.
Let’s be ready to
meet our Maker. The
Bible (in Acts)
teaches that to
avoid hell and gain
heaven - one must:
1) Believe In Jesus
As Savior (16:31) 2)
Repent Of Sins
(17:30)
3) Confess Christ
Audibly (8:37) 4) Be
Baptized In Water
(2:38)
5) Live A Christian
Life (14:22) 6) Be
Active In the Church
(2:47)
