Discover How to Make Good Friendships by Wilma Watson

The true meaning of friendship is revealed through poetry, quote and my story.

Friendship Quote or Best Friend Quotation:

"Some friends may ruin you, but a real friend will be more loyal than a brother." Proverbs 18:24.

Friendship Poem or Best Friend Poem:

That's What Friends Are For!

Friendship is based on the giving of two

And it can come right out of the blue

You will both know when it's God's design

For the combination will be just fine

Someone who'll accept you just as you are

And then treat you like a movie star!

Someone who is on your wave length

Giving you an inner strength!

Someone on whom you can depend

Totally loyal to the very end!

Someone you can share both good and bad

Whose support will make you glad!

Someone who'll keep your secrets true

And will not judge the things you do!

Someone who's forgiving every day

And will stop gossip right away!

Would you like a good friend like that?

One with whom you can freely chat?

Discover The True Meaning of Friendship 

If you want to be or have a really good friend, you must be willing to assist each other in whatever way is needed, be loyal and defend the other no matter what, give each other freedom to be oneself and be a constant source of encouragement to each other.

There is a price to pay in having or being a really good friend or best friend.  It will cost time, energy and money!

My husband and I met Craig (not his real name) shortly after his mother told him he was adopted.  He was 26 years of age! We were able to give Craig constant support through this difficult time.  It was the beginning of a deep and meaningful friendship.

Craig often dreamt of finding his real mum. Since work consumed most of his time we offered to help him look for her. After several weeks of numerous phone calls, looking through genealogical files and the internet, we rang with the sad news. His mum had died in a car accident in Northern Australia when he was very young. We were there for him as he went through the grieving process. But hey, that's what good friends are for!

Another good friend that we would assist whenever and in whatever way was needed is John (not his real name). He is involved in international business and nearly every week for the past 23 years we phone each other irrespective of where we were in the world.

John has lived a colorful life and many times needed encouragement.  He often says that he would have committed suicide with the pressure of life if it wasn't for our acceptance and constant encouragement.  We have given emotional and financial assistance to John as we believe in him. But hey, that's what good friends are for!

Then there is our greatest friend of all.  We talk to him every day.  Sometimes several times a day!  He has sacrificed his life for us, accepts us as we are and constantly encourages us.  His name is Jesus!  He wants to be your good friend too.  Click here for a cartoon presentation to see how you can become Jesus' friend.
