Nothing but Heaven

Nothing but Heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.

  1. I sent this quotation to a group of on-line "friends" that are bickering. I also sent it to a relative of mine who needs to be reminded of these words. This quote hit hard for me because I have been the recipient of disloyal friends. It really is true that the value of true friendship is just about the best thing on this earth (second only to our relationship with our Lord). Thank you for sharing this with us. The picture is quite revealing also.

  2. So, so true. Beautiful picture-it makes me think that someone drew it, and just for these words.

  3. Oh, Hannah, I'm so glad that you liked this post enough to send it on to others; and I truly hope that it will be helpful to them. Friendship is such a very precious gift, after all: how sad that so few seem to value it these days! Our Lord called those closest to Him His friends: that alone speaks volumes about the worth of friendship. I'm glad that you liked this picture with these word, Oddyoddyo13; I thought that they seemed meant for each other, too--a serendipitous find. May God bless you both.
