Therefore, I choose friends very carefully. I have to distinguish between fair-weather friends and true friends. True friends remain with me through thick and thin while fair-weather friends are found only during sunny days.<\/p>\n<p>Lasting friendship is indeed, a blessing. My good friends are great pillars of my life. They help me to stand tall and erect in life, and they never abandon me.<\/p>\n<p>Friendship can make or break someone. It can lead to good careers and proper living.\u00a0 Truly, it does not matter how often you meet your friends.\u00a0 What matters is how much you care about and feel for one another in good times as well as in bad times. True friendship is a great asset in life. It enables a person to soar like an eagle over the storms in life.<\/p>\n<p>But to have a great friend, you must also be a great friend!\u00a0 I always try to help my friends any way I can.\u00a0 They know they can call me anytime day or night and I will be there for them.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being my friend! I will help you any way I can when you need help.<\/p>\n<p>May you always have friends by your side to help you stand tall no matter what you are going through.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Need a hug right now?<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/lessons-learned-life-near-river-bj-rae-eagle\/\">Please make this important call.<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">BJ sincerely wishes you \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/beautiful-life-near-river-bj-rae-eagle-encouraging-words\/\">A Beautiful Life<\/a>\u201c.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Please do not let \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/small-things-near-river-bj-rae-eagle\/\">The Small Things\u201d<\/a>\u00a0ruin your life!<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friendship is a truly special gift.
