Sabbath Lesson Really Sabbath School Lesson for Me

The week ending Friday, October 22nd the Sabbath School lesson was on Friendship highlighting the friendship of David and Jonathen (found in I Samuel 14 - 21).  It is an awesome story of friendship.  The lesson last week made the following statement that has stuck with me "true friendship is a completely voluntary relationship."  That is so simple but was profound to me.  Unlike family, I choose my friends, I choose to call, I choose to spend time with them , I want them in my life.  There was a time in my life where I felt I did not have True Friendship, I can say today God has given me true friendships that embodies John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
