"A Friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. "

Do you have a Friend like this??
I ran across this old Arabian proverb regarding a friend yesterday. I've thought of what a beautiful picture it paints of a true friend, and figured since I thought so much of it, I'd share it. It's just beautiful!!
"A Friend is one to whom one may pour out the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away. "

This saying is written on my heart and I want to be this kind of friend. Thanks for the reminder!
I second Linda's comment. It's easy to forget what we all need in each other. I pray that my hands will be gentle always.
Friends like that are hard to come by but I praise God that He has brought one or two into my life and, yes, I desire to be that kind of friend as well. I love you, Sister!
