“There are persons for companionship, but then there are friends who are more loyal than family.”

 

Have you ever looked up all the different meanings for “friend?”  Do you have friends that you labeled with special titles?  Maybe like many in your category of friends, you include things like ‘my new BFF,’ or maybe ‘friends forever.’  Think a moment about other categories, i.e., acquaintances, or those you claim as ‘someone I know.  Do you have someone that fits the description found in Proverbs?  I used to think it was so great to have a ‘Chum’ in school.  And then  of course several ‘Buddies’ through growing up and even Pals in the Military.  But I have come to cherish those I have found since     getting to know what the Lord has brought into my live.  He gives so many reminders in the Word through Scripture that when we study, discuss, and live by those instructions, we can to learn to increase our ‘Family of Friends’ that will always be with us.
