It is written…
…there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Proverbs 18:24 NIV
Those friends who are brothers from different mothers, yet love the other’s family as their own.
They eat from each other’s refrigerators; they sleep on the other’s floor.
They argue as brothers yet remain and love as true friends,
… as friends stick closer than a brother.
Friendships elevate one another with their belief in the other’s success;
Going low that they be lifted high.
Friendships rev the throttle of encouragement to push their brother further and faster down the pathway of life.
They are a ride for help when friends find themselves stranded along a dark and lonely road.
Friends are runners in each other’s races.
They train together for those triathlons which test the limits of a brother’s endurance of spirit when he’s forced to…
Swim against the tide of struggles…
Bicycle though the wind of adversity blows in your face…
And run a full marathon while you are weak.
Friends keep pace beside their brother’s race especially when the runner’s wall is before them,
… as friends stick closer than a brother.
Friendships are those speeches of love and truth at your wedding, those crumbs in the forest to help you find your way when your compass has failed.
A brotherhood of words to remind you…
I’ve got your back…
I’m here for you…
You’ve got a friend in me.
True friends talk and think like the other; albeit to a grandmother’s anxiety.
Friends stroll thru and share the sights of fatherhood together; they are those fun uncles to their brother’s children.
Friends see the good, the beautiful, the noteworthy attributes of his brother, overlooking the imperfect weeds of his brother’s garden.
A friend is one who overlooks your broken fence,
And admires the flowers in your garden.

God…

Flag…
Friends go to the ends of the world for the other, following them and risking it all up those treacherous mountains where it’s most difficult to breathe if need be.
Because friends don’t allow friends to climb thru life alone,
… as friends stick closer than a brother.
A friend loves at all times.
A friend is always loyal,
A brother is born to help in time of need.
Proverbs 17:17 NLT
A brotherhood of words to remind you…
I’ve got your back…
I’m here for you…
You’ve got a friend in me.
