30 Day Meme: Day Seven - Best Friends

Ugh. I *hate* this topic, not because I hate best friends, but because I am blessed with a lot of people that I love and this seems to somehow drop some of them into a less worthy status.

So, I reject it.

Instead, I will talk about the sort of friend that I strive to be, or, in other words, the best friend that I can be.

As someone with a distinct lack of romantic love in her life, I have still never felt unloved for even a minute. My friends fill that void for me to an astonishing degree. I have had people ask why I do things for the people I love, or indicate that some requests are ones that I should turn down, but I can't help myself.

If you're a friend of mine, and you need something that I can do, I will do it. The end. That simple. I remember my dad telling me when I was little that Christians don't loan money, they give it and never expect it to be returned. They only give what they can afford to give, and they never have any resentment over it if it isn't repaid.

While I scoff aloud at the idea that this is how all Christians behave, it struck me as exactly how a true friendship should work.
