A Real Friend.

Yesterday a friend and I went for a drive. We had a destination and a purpose. We were productive with the errand we ran. But more imporant to me, by far, was the counsel, validation and direction I received from a friend who listened intently and spoke with love. For living such a small life, how can I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders? My challenges must seem pathetic to many, yet they challenge and frustrate me. I know I have it GREAT ... my life is so blessed. But a real friend doesn't brush past that fact and tell you that you have nothing to complain about. I learned yesterday that a real friend sees when you have a need for change and offers encouragement in making the change.
