We hear this phrase all of the time. Your friend will do something for you and when you say thanks they'll say, "Ah, what are friends for?" Sometimes I think we don't really think about what we're saying when we say that. I know I have done many many blog posts about friends, but this has been on my mind lately. So what are friends really for?
I've made many friends being a missionary. As a missionary, you travel all over the USA raising support. You make friends and have to leave them right after you meet. You go to the field and leave your best friends in America yet if you try hard, you'll make new friends in the place where you are going. I can honestly tell you that a friend is someone who will listen to you when something is bothering you. They encourage you in the way that they know best. Some friends help you in different ways, but they're just trying to help. A true friend won't desert you when things get bad. A true friend will stick with you through everything.
The three girls with me in the above picture are three of the best friends I have made since coming to Thailand. All three of them are three of the nicest girls ever. As you can see, we are a little bit crazy, but I know I can count on anyone one of them to be there when I need them.
So next time you tell someone, "What are friends for?" Maybe you should think a little bit more about what you're saying! :D
