In Life are many precious things
From Birth and until it ends,
But most precious is the Gift
Of True, loving God-sent Friends!

Of Other Blessings in my Life
I find this one transcends,
And helps make them more meaningful--
A Life that's shared with Friends.

For all my relationships
Acquaintance, Co-workers and Kin,
The Most lovely, I esteem
Is A trusted Friend.

One with whom I can be
Myself, and yet not offend,
Who accepts me as I am--
My dear and Precious Friend.

If you are of whom I speak
And one on whom I depend,
With all I've got, I Thank You now
For being You--MY FRIEND!

How honored I'd be to be considered one of your friends, David.  Your list must be countless because you're friendly to all.

Thank you for sharing this prayer of thankfulness.  Friends are a real blessing, often identified when our going gets rough.

God bless,
  Rae

Dear Friend,

I certainly hope I am counted among your friends. I think of you daily and you are in my prayers.  We never forget the precious ones we lose but it becomes easier to bear because their memory grows dearer and sweeter.  And I know Jesus is walking through it with you.  Love, Joyce

Rae & Joyce,
   You both have proven yourselves many times to be My Friends, and I appreciate both of you for the many ways in which you have expressed your Friendship. Rae, even though I don't write as often as I should- your e-mails- so caring, sharing and knowledgable in the experiences of grief.
And Joyce-- thanks for being supportive of me over the years, and DO keep me in your prayers--I need them everyone!

I have or have had many other friends here- and I thank God for You all, and hope that I can be such a friend to many here as well.

GBU-All,
  David

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing

David~

I have known your friendship true
for many a year at these pages of blue
Hold now my hand and know that my thoughts entwine
the friend you are ... for the all of time~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
