This covenant between friends is a divine sidebar about the meaningful bonds of affection, protection, and steadfast love we can create with others. To trust a friend for life is good; to pledge with a friend for eternity is even better.

Call on Jesus to be your witness. Trust him to be fair. Ask him to be your friend.

They really know it.” Visit her at the Produce Station Pottery or through Legacy Learning Boone River Valley.
