You are so right about friends who tell the truth in love (we need them, and we need to be them).<BR/>Sometimes people don't even realize the effect their words have. I am thinking of a friend who once gave me advice that I have carried with me ever since. I doubt very much if he even remembers saying it. Like you, over the years I have lost track of him. But for me at times his words have been a spiritual life-line.Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-25317185024944982212009-03-07T10:01:00.000-06:002009-03-07T10:01:00.000-06:00This is a great post.

I feel very lucky to have a couple friends like that. <BR/><BR/>There is some proverb about the rebuke of a brother--anyways i would say they are like gold--they are rebukes of love and care not to hurt you, and you are wise to heed them.makemeasparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493873650540159181noreply@blogger.com
