We cannot tell the precise moment when
friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel
drop by drop, there is at last a drop which
makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses
there is at last one which makes the heart run over
                                 -Samuel Johnson

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can
comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we
ourselves have received from God.
                            2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Sweet is the memory of distant friends!
Like the mellow rays of the departing sun,
It falls tenderly, yet sadly, on the heart.
                                  -Washington Irving

Thank you, God in heaven, for friends.
When morning wakes, when daytime ends,
I have the consciousness of loving
hands that touch my own,
of tender glance and gentle tone.

There is something very powerful
about...someone believing in you,
someone giving you another chance.

Now to Him who is able to do
immeasurably more than all we ask or
imagine, according to His power that
is at work within us, to Him be glory in the
church and in Christ Jesus throughout all
generations, for ever and ever!
                       -Ephesians 3:20-21

Attention to detail is the secret
of success in every sphere of life,
and little kindnesses, little acts of
considerateness, little appreciations,
little confidences...they are all that are
needed to keep the friendship sweet.
