FRIENDS and "Friends"

So, a couple of weeks ago, I was ticked off because of so called "friends".  A "friend" to me, is one of those that are your "friends" but they hide in the corner of your life and they show up only to send you negative vibe. They show up to say negative things about what you're feeling instead of building you up when you feel broken down. I think these "friends" are only possible because of social media because if you were to let your feelings out to them they wouldn't say nearly half of what they write you on social media.

As I was tired because of current life events, I was roaming and dwelling on this issue... I think if I was stronger (more like rested) it wouldn't bother me, but oh, it did bother me A LOT.  But then, something magical happened.

FRIENDS stepped up and made a huge difference in my life.

We may have "friends" in the shadow of our lives, but we have way more FRIENDS all over our lives. Wednesday and Thursday were the real proof of this.

My pregnant FRIEND washed all the dishes in my sink as I was late to go out with her. Another FRIEND helped me book a hotel room at the last minute and she just seemed thrilled to be able to help. My other FRIEND stayed at my house all day doing all the things I needed to get done including taking care of both babies while I was packing. Another FRIEND helped Sam load the car and take care of babies. Another FRIEND family came over and watched the boys while the other FRIENDS were helping Sam.

I'd like to say that these FRIENDS are like FAMILY. And I guess the point of this post is, I want to be a FRIEND like the ones I have are to my family and I.  I don't want to ever be a "friend," this one is boring and serves for nothing, well, I guess they serve for helping us develop patience and Christ-like love. :)
