Friends

I will forever be grateful for the friends in my life. I will be grateful for how much service has been rendered to me by them and how they have stood by me. I will also be grateful for my friends allowing me to serve them, which has blessed me very much. Marvin J. Ashton said this:

No greater reward can come to any of us as we serve than a sincere "thank you for being my friend." When those who need assistance find their way back through and with us, it is friendship in action. When the weak are made strong and the strong stronger through our lives, friendship is real.

I believe in true friendship and how it can bless our lives. I believe that we can be a friend to anyone. I believe that if we are struggling with a trial, no matter how severe, reaching out to someone and being a friend will help heal you. We are all suffering in one way or another. We are all in need of a friend at times. Someone who will sincerely show love and affection during a time of need. It is such an amazing feeling to not only have a true friend but also BE a true friend to others. I have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to being a true friend but I am grateful for the opportunities I have every day to be a friend. I am grateful to the many experiences I have had where a friend showed me love at the exact time I needed it.

Our greatest friend of all is our Savior. He was and is a friend to all. He will never fail us or betray us. He is our great example. I give thanks to Him and the friends in my life.

Thank you.
