Friends

Friends...

• Don't think less of you when they see the worst in you. In my case it's at the beach with my shirt off.
• Don't judge you for being different then them. In my case it's having a love for the Lakers and all things Superheroes.
• Celebrate when you win and don't get jealous. In my case all I do is win. I kid I kid...that's a line from a rap song.
• Can just hang out and not have to be entertained. In my case that's every time we hang out. I stink at making plans and I love to just hang out.
• Help you in areas where you are weak. In my case that's with fixing and installing things. I thank God for my friends who have installed my toilets, put together baby furniture, installed my wireless Internet...the list could go on and on.
• Get annoyed with each other, but quickly forgive. In my case it's a good thing that I have forgiving friends.
• Are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them. Um wait...isn't that from an 80's Christian pop song?
• Can get jealous when their friends spend time with other people. In my case it's because I hate missing out.
• Are more than a collection of people on Facebook. In my case I love having a lot of Facebook friends, but I am thankful for the one's that I get to live out their status updates and not just read about. 

I've been asking a lot of people who they hang out with. It seems that once people have kids they lose touch with a lot of friends. It takes effort to have friends and to keep them. I am thankful for my friends and I hope to be able to make time even after our twins are born.

Who are your closest friends and what do you love about them?
