To me, friendship is also all about family. My husband and two kids are my closest friends. My mom and brothers and sisters follow along with their kids and grandchildren. We didn't grow up in a big house and neither did my kids. But having a big family that stays in close contact is and was part of what taught me to get along with a wide variety of people.
Because no matter what happens in life, I always have my family to count on. |

Tips on Being a Better Friend |

Define Friend, Would You?
I think that to be a true friend you have to have four things. Humility, Realness, Tenderness and Extravagance. But are these qualities humanly possible.? Do we have it in us to treat people kindly and unselfishly? How do we pour our lives out for someone that we love and care about and still maintain healthy boundaries that protect our own personal identity?

Every life and life-giving attribute has to have a foundation. In my life, in my job and in my creative hobbies, this foundation is my deep belief in a personal God that is also my best friend. I am not referring to organized Christianity. There are specific things I believe that nominal Christians and even sincere Christians have done to divert innocent searchers of truth.

a poem about friendship
time can't heal a lonely ache
or soften bruises words can make
it's proven: years don't minimize
the inner traumas, though disguised.
but a timely friend with caring tears,
with gentle arms can crush the fears.
no lonely ache would dare defy
a kind word spoken with a tearful eye
