BEST FRIEND

       

 

 

WHO'S YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Former prisoner James Knapp confessed to police that he'd robbed
two stores in Oklahoma, because he missed his old cell mates.
Police said they'd see if James could be reunited with his old
friends.

I think Mr. Knapp may have expressed something important,
however. Friends, wherever we find them, are absolutely
necessary.

But do you know who your best friend is? Automaker Henry Ford was
having lunch with a man, when he suddenly asked the man that very
question. "Who is your best friend?" Ford asked.

The man hesitated and Ford went on. "I'll tell you who your best
friend is," he said. Then he wrote this sentence for the man to
read: "Your best friend is he who brings out the best that is
within you." Our best friends are those who do more than simply
like us. They also believe in us. They support us but, occasionally,
they nudge us as well.

Someone put it well: "A friend is someone who knows you as you
are, understands where you've been, accepts who you've become,
and still, gently invites you to grow."

Now...who is your best friend?
