Friends are Like Flowers

At school being away from family is super hard. However, I have learnt to 'adopt' family. I got alot of brothers and sisters oh and lots of parents. I have a 'little sister' who helps me so much I dont think she even knows. Last night I was at a point of depression and her encouragement came without me having to ask. She is a blessing and I never ever forget to let her know it.
I say all this to say, God places persons in our lives to encourage and help us. We sometimes confuse these friends with the person who should just be passing through. We have faith in these people and we put our trust in them and then they dissappoint us in the long run. These friends end up being leeches that suck life out of us and rather than pouring into your lives. My point is this. Appreciate the people around you who dont need to be prompted to encourage you. Persons who can look at you and 'sense' that there is a need to encourage you. Persons who will be quick to listen and slow to talk. Persons who God uses to bless and encourage you no matter what. Persons who are praying for you whether you know it or not. Appreciate and pray for them.
