Honestly, I&#39;m kinda &quot;awestruck&quot; how David loved Saul after everything he did to him. Very tough. That power/ability can only come from Almighty God. <br /><br />No matter how we try to show true friendship and love, there is no guarantee of the same things coming back to us.<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts. Many blessings and God bless!Lori Lawshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11838670586323527147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846806234472747966.post-34144808981391648322009-12-17T16:54:28.403-05:002009-12-17T16:54:28.403-05:00Hello Lori,<br /><br />the get elfed things are really cute. We got elfed last year lol!<br /><br />David did try very hard to continue to be Saul&#39;s Friend. But because of Sauls jealous heart he continued to be hard toward David. I guess what i am trying to say, is that we can try and do our best to be a friend anyways, but friendship is a communion and bond between two people. It takes both trying. I have experienced this before in trying to continue to be a friend. But in the end all i could do was love and pray for the person, because she refused to reciprocate. This hurts very deeply. But i love her to this very day :)Tamela's Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06198306261112276905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846806234472747966.post-79971050654591330552009-12-16T18:55:28.257-05:002009-12-16T18:55:28.257-05:00Thanks Warren.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful poem. I understand what you mean. Those of us who have chronic illness and physical limitations need someone who understands. We can know that God does, and when we are blessed with another person He sends into our lives to share and love each other, it&#39;s truly a wonderful gift!Connie Arnoldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06264510809220669622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846806234472747966.post-59736443466182318652009-12-15T23:15:17.510-05:002009-12-15T23:15:17.510-05:00Thanks Yvette.
