Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, a friend sharpens a friend" A loving family is a treasure from God; so is a trustworthy friend. If you are a member of a tight-knit, supportive family, offer a word of thanks to your Creator. And if you have a close circle of trustworthy friends, consider yourself richly blessed. Today let us praise God for our family and friends. He has placed these people along our paths. Let us love them and care for them. Let us give thanks to all those who enrich our lives. These people are, in a very real sense, gifts from God and we should treat them as such.
