These roses grow in my front yard and are a riot of color in June. My rose bush has survived many hard winters and lived a long time now, still blooming every year and bring much joy to the neighborhood.
Friends come and go, and some remain throughout our life time. Some people have never had a real friend and yet we all yearn for that special someone we can trust, confide in, and be real with.
When I was little, my favorite song was “What A Friend We Have In Jesus’.

On the night Jesus was about to be arrested, he had a long talk with his disciples. He said…
​
John 15: 12 "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another."
