My forgetter
My forgetter's getting better, But my rememberer is broke, To you that may seem funny But, to me, that is no joke.
For when I'm "here" I'm wondering. If I really should be "there" And, when I try to think it through, I haven't got a prayer!
Oft times I walk into a room, Say "what am I here for?" I wrack my brain, but all in vain A zero, is my score.
At times I put something away, where it is safe, but, Gee! The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!
When shopping I may see someone, Say "Hi" and have a chat, Then, when the person walks away I ask myself, "who was that?"
Yes, my forgetter's getting better While my rememberer is broke, And it's driving me plumb crazy, And that isn't any joke.
What’s New With You?
Proverbs 18:24 "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there
is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
Anyone can stand by you when you are right, but a Friend will stand by
you even when you are wrong...
A simple friend identifies himself when they call. A real friend doesn't have to. A simple friend opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on his life. A real friend says, "What's new with you?" A simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are recent. A real friend says, "You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years. Get off your duff and do something about it." A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears. A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in their address book. A simple friend brings a bottle of lemonade to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean. A simple friend hates it when you call after they have gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call. A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems. A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it. A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself. A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight. A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!
Jesus had the 12 disciples who were very close and still among those twelve there were 3 that he was even closer to. In Proverbs, God tells us that having many friends doesn't mean anything, but there are those few people that really will be there for you through thick and thin. That's what's the most important. It's not important how many people you know or how many people know you.
Do you your closest friend, He said “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” Heb 13:5b
Do you know my friend? If not see John 3:16
