Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person,
having neither to weight thoughts
nor measure words,
nor measure words,
but only to pour them all right out
and just as they are,
chaff and grain together,
chaff and grain together,
knowing that a faithful hand
will take and sift them,
will take and sift them,
keep what is worth keeping,
and then with the breath of kindness
blow the rest away.
blow the rest away.
George Eliot
Friends here on earth are a real treasure.
They come and go as the Lord sends them
into and out of our lives.
Enriching our days and bestowing memories
that keep our days filled with light.
For my Heavenly Father loves me even
when earthly friends disappoint, move away,
find other focus, or turn away.
But, we also stand together to encourage
each other in times of happiness and trial.
To carry the burden,
to walk and hold each other up,
to walk and hold each other up,
to laugh and cry together.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters,
you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown,
stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!
Phillippians 4:1
