CIRCLE OF FRIENDS

I hope that all who read this have a complete circle of friends as follows.

C… This is for your cherished friends, those that you want to be your friends no matter what happens. Those who have seen you through some rough times and still remain close.


I… These are your indispensable friends. The ones you think that if they weren’t your friend you don’t know what you would do with yourself. These are the friends that if you call them in the middle of the night for help they will be there, no questions asked. These friends are few and far between. Count yourself very lucky if you have even one of these type friends.


R… This is for your religious friends, you know, those friends you only see at church. Your only contact with them is usually on Sunday. They might visit you if you are in the hospital or pray for you when you are sick. Don’t get me wrong these are important friends to have.

C… These friends serve a dual roll in your life. They are not only friends but confidants. These friends you tell your deepest dark secrets to, knowing full well that they will go to their deathbed with out telling the information.

L…These are your lasting friends. The ones that you have grown up with or have known for many, many years. You sometimes have someone that may also be a friend,but they just don't fit into lasting friends.

E…This last letter could stand for everyone. If we could live our lives to consider all we meet to be a potential friend. Think how our circles might grow.

I am hoping as you read this you thought of some of your cherished, indispensable, religious, confidant, lasting friends or maybe you just thought of everyone!

Alas my circle of friends is not complete, but I am still working on the list. If yours isn’t keep trying!

Remember that friendships are like flowers, they need a little work and nurturing once in a while. Call today what you might consider a long lost friend. They may be the one that will help you complete your circle of friends!
