Proverbs 27:9
"The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense."
You know the ones...the ones that will tell you if you have spinach between your teeth...that will notice if you got a new haircut or lost a couple of pounds...will make you laugh until you are crying over something only the two of you can understand..know when you are sad but are pretending to be fine...will call you out when you are wrong...will stand strong beside you when you can't stand strong alone. Yeah, THOSE friends!
I believe that we get to a place in life where we find those handful of people that know you...really know you...the good, bad, and ugly...and still love you! Those are the ones that we make the time for and we cherish. Those are the relationships that we protect with all of our power because those are the ones that fill our hearts and souls.
One of my friends gave me the best compliment that anyone has ever given me tonight. She sent me at text that said "At times it feels selfish to be your friend. You are appreciated"! Wow! My heart is about to pop! What an amazing thing to say to someone...I will hold onto that text forever! I feel the same about all of my true, dear friends. It is selfish that I get to be their friends...but I'm not giving them back! :O)
