"FRIENDS"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. Well, just about now, you ought to be getting geared up for the two biggest holidays of the year, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Getting together with family members to celebrate the giving of gifts and the birth of Jesus. I'm going to ask you do something else this year, starting now. Recognize your "Friends" a little more than usual. Let them know how much a part of your life they are throughout the whole year. And, this year, why not go out a buy a card, make sure it's one that has some empty space for you to write on, and if you borrow the following poem, it's o.k. It goes like this:-----GOD BLESS THE FRIEND WHO OVERLOOKS THE MANY FAULTS IN ME---WHO LOVES ME FOR MYSELF AND THE THINGS THAT I CAN BE---WHOSE TENDER HEART AND THOUGHTFUL WAYS-ADD SO MUCH PLEASURE TO MY DAYS---GOD BLESS THE FRIEND WHO SEES MY NEEDS AND REACHES OUT A HAND---WHO LIFTS ME UP, WHO PRAYS FOR ME, AND HELPS ME UNDERSTAND---WHO SHARES MY PROBLEMS COME WHAT MAY-WHO'S ALWAYS THERE FROM DAY TO DAY---GOD BLESS THE FRIEND WHO LAUGHS WITH ME AND CAUSES THE SUN TO SHINE---WHO HELPS ME SEE LIFE'S GOODNESS, AND THE BLESSINGS THAT ARE MINE---WHOSE FRIENDSHIP IS A SPECIAL PART-TO ALL THAT'S PRECIOUS TO MY HEART---YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS A TREASURED GIFT THAT I HOLD VERY DEAR---FOR THE LOVE OF FRIENDS CAN MEAN SO MUCH EACH DAY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR---AND I AM HOPING YOU WILL KNOW THAT WARMTH IS IN THIS THOUGHT---HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MERRY CHRISTMAS , AND GOD BLESS YOU, FOR THE JOY YOUR FRIENDSHIPS BROUGHT:-----Try it on a special friend this year and see how much better it makes you feel when you get together with you family. This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
