Today I am thankful for the gift of FRIENDSHIP. What a wonderful gift I have been given to have friends surrounding me with encouragement, love, laughter, and support.
I "googled" the word FRIENDSHIP and this is what came up...
Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.

Dear Anne,
:) You are such a sweet woman...so encouraging and open...willing to befriend women. I remember walking into our Sunday School classroom 3 years ago, and feeling your kindness and friendship...even when you hardly knew me! You may never know how you ministered to me in a time when I needed a friend. Thank you! :) Erica
