A Friend of the Truest Kind

I've been rummaging through my stuff lately (a very belated Spring cleaning :) )...and found this little book that a very dear friend gave to me a few years back. The Treasure of a Friend by John C. Maxwell is brimming with heartwarming stories, poignant poems and unforgettable quotes about friendship.

I found this piece, and I thought, "I wish I had more friends like this." LOL! Hope you enjoy it, too.

A Friend of the Truest Kind

A friend...

...is someone who keeps your secrets and never divulges them, even if tortured--or worse, tempted with chocolate.

...is someone who quietly destroys the photograph that makes you look like a beached whale.

...is someone who knows you don't know what you're talking about, but allows you to reach that conclusion on your own. 

...is someone who goes with you on a diet--and off it too.

...is someone who doesn't say, "I told you so," no matter how tempting it might be.

A friend of the truest kind is kind and true to you.

"In prosperity our friends know us.
In adversity we know our friends."
