"Friends"

"Friends"

Great friends,are part of memories time can never erase,

when life is blessed with good friends, more pleasant

memories are there to look back!

Remember: if you can dream it,

you can probably make it come true.

Build wonderful bridges to get where you're going.

Appreciate all the special qualities within you.

Even if you do things the right way,some would still

be unsatisfied. some will not appreciate what you say

and what you do, and there would always be people who

would let you down too... but as long as you speak honestly

from the heart, you'll be fine. This is not a perfect world,

This is not a perfect life. Life is almost always unfair...but

Life loves the person who dares live it...

Always tell someone how you feel. Mean what you say

and say what you mean even when its hard, coz opportunities

are lost in a blink of an eye but regrets can last as a lifetime...

The secret of "Friendship" is concern,

The secret of "Love" is sacrifice,

The secret of "Happiness" is giving and,

The secret of "Life" is GOD...

Friendship are like buttons in an elevator...

Some take you up, Others bring you down...

I can't promise to bring you on the rooftop

but I promise to bring you on the right floor.

Real life is not outside ourselves but within.

The real possessions are not what the hands

may grasp,but what the heart may hold.

I may never have expressed, shown or told you

how much i care for you or even make you realize

how much i value even the smallest thing you do,

let my silence say it all.

Everything you've done will become someone elses memory;

the person might forget the exact words you said but

no way to make them forget the way you made them feel special.

Never gave up when everything falls into pieces.

Never even lose hope when everybody turns their back on you...

Remember Life isn't about being fair, its about surpassing the unfair

reality.

Don't give up when you still have something to give.

Nothing is really over unless you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks, it is by taking

chances that we learn how to be brave.

Shores never meet but share the same ocean.

The moon and stars could not be one but are in one sky,

Friends meet not often but never stop being friends!

A heart doesn't need to have company to be happy...

It can smile in its solitude and be thankful for the peace inside...

Its not so bad being single.

Realize that relationships are like parties, no matter how much

laughs you shared, tears you discussed, money you spent,

time will come someone will say... "Time to go guys,party's over."

Everything that God allows to come in your way is with purpose...

He will use even the greatest error and the deepest hurt to mold

you into a person of worth...

Good friends, don't always need togetherness, don't always need

everyday conversation, as long as the friendship lives in heart

it remains forever.

If you wanna end up with the right person, you've got to

make it happen. The best people are always taken.

If you don't steal them, you wont have them...

Friends are like walls of a house, always there to protect you,

Sometimes you lean on them and sometimes its just cool to know

that they are standing by.

The heart of a friend doesn't grow old.

It knows no time or age, it doesn't get weary

because it takes no effort, just cares, shows and goes on.

"Be a friend"

"Be a friend"

Its easy to tell who your friends are.They're the one's who stab you while you're looking.

As Iron sharpens iron, A friends sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27:17

He says that friends are people with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can be naked with them.They ask you to put on nothing,only to be what you are.They do not wan't you to be better or worse.When you are with them,you feel like the prisoner feels who has been declared innocent.You do not have to be on your guard.You can say what you think as long as you believe in it.

Friends understand those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you.With them you breaths freely.You can be up front with your little vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks,with your meaness little streaks of meaness and absurdities,And by opening them up to your friends,they are lost,dissolved in the wide and white ocean of their loyalty. They understand ,You do not have to be careful.You can abuse them,neglect them,tolerate them.Best of all you ,can still keep them.It does not matter,they like you,friends are like fire which purges to the bone.They take you wholesale, you can weep with them,sing with them,laugh with them and pray with them.Through it all and underneath, they see, know and love you.What is a friend? just one I repeat,with whom you dare to be yourself .Im glad i have friends.They've been with me all these years.We've laughed together, dined together, attended worship services and studied the bible together, and we've prayed for each other during times of crises.No man is designed to be alone.He needs friends and his friends need him too,The only reason why friendship last is because love is there.Friends are there not just to sympathize with our weakness,but more so,they are there in order to help us summon our strength.The Bible says this in proverbs 27:17, "As Iron sharpens iron,so one man sharpens another.Faithful are wounds of a friend;Profuse are the kisses of an enemy."And by the way,before you can have a friend,be a friend first,this is the best advice i can give you.

"Guard your thoughts"

"Guard your thoughts"

Life,Love and Laughs by;

Francis J. Kong

Minds,like streams,maybe so broad that they're shallow.

"He who has friends posses greater wealth than riches and gold."

One thing that i have discovered about friends is that they all have different personalities.I dare say that all of them are sincere and honest,For if they were not,then they wouldn't remained my friends.Yet,I could probably classify them into two major groups or types of people.One,those who are the habitual cheerers and two those who are the automatic and unconscious breakers.

The cheerers encourage while the breakers demoralize.There are those who see beyond the difficulty of lifes challenges and encourage me to get on with what i am doing.They are the ones i truly treasure for they have been God's instruments of strength and blessing.But then again, there will always be friends,though they may be honest and sincere,who will always fail to see beyond the impending stormy situation.They wallow in the negative things in life.They are the people whom i truly fear.I mean, I love them all right,but I make sure I throw a couple of my "Cheerer" friends in just, so they can balance the perspective on a given situation.

There will always be people who won't see nor say the positive thing.They remain pessimistic in all their views.when confronted,they say they are just being careful.Never forget that negative thinking can be destructive and painful.We don't need it.Everytime I am given an opportunity,i would remind them that the world does not owe them a living.Its a wonderful place to be in.Its a gift from God,but we just have to make it productive by first living productive lives.

As you go to workplace today ,be a cheerer,not a breaker.Encourage someone,make him or her feel better and you'll be surprise.You're gonna feel better yourself doing it and oh yes,by the way Bible calls this living "The Golden Rule."
