Friends

I have been thinking a lot about the special people called friends. In small group this week we looked at proverbs 27 and talked about our friends, how we should and would like to treat them, how they should treat us and a load of different other things. It was pretty cool because they boys split off into their own group and the girls were in our own group. It made it easier to be more open with answers and questions.

It got me thinking at how special friends are. At times i know i've taken many of my friends for granted but this week i have really been able to appreciate all my friends do for me and been reflecting. I think it could be the fact that i have met up with everyone because i am leaving early for Christmas. I had a sleep over on friday with Melody (mermaid) and Ruth (ducky). It was the last one with Mel before she goes off to Aussie land. Mel and i went to watch flushed away at the movies and like 3/4 through they had a fire scare and we had to be evacuated out of the building and we got complimentary tickets, to which i am going to use to see another movie, even though i did not finish flushed away. We went to Hungry for God and then we went to collect our giant Dominos pizza and went home to watch the rest of the lost episodes. (Ducky fell asleep!! can you believe it?) Only got to sleep at about half four felt pretty shattered the next day.

I then went to Steve and Mins to say bye and had supper which was delicious! That was Sat night Rachel came along too was good to see her and catch up. We watched Home Alone!! Oh yeah!!! It brought back loads of memories!! Then we watched Cars.

Today i went to the pub after church and had a drink with friends and people from small group (they are also my friends! :-)
Managed to whip Oli's ass at table football!! It was just sitting round the table that i thought again, looking round at everyone that i'm pretty lucky to have friends in my life. In my 22 years i've had to say bye to friends as they have either moved on or moved away and i have thought how it sucked (which it did) But then i think that i am really glad that i had that time with friends to get to know them and stuff. The laughs, chats, tears and all.

So i just wanna say if you reading this your probably my friend (if not ummmm thanks for reading......i guess :-) Thanks for being my friend and know that you are very special to me!
