Friendship doesn’t occur overnight nor can’t it be measured how many times you have fun together. Real friendship comes out when they are there to give a helping hand in difficult times. (Proverbs 17:17)
In this wicked world where peace is so abundant, you will find such happiness with true friends ready to share every detail of their lives. Age, status, and differences are not counted but poured with deep respect and unconditional love. As other proverbs said, you cannot live without them…
When I started serving Jehovah a lot of my so-called-friends started pull away from me and even the whole class at school turned against me. My life is so miserable that time the fact that I had established my mind with my friends but then again, I’m alone after all. But there were few people who never turn their backs on me. I found my home in them and I’m so glad I found them!
During my teenage years I treat Kingdom Hall as my new home, where I feel like I’m a part of a Big Family, and until now… I’ve never been wrong! Things changes and there were some who come and go but that doesn’t break the ties we had, Trust and Faith has been our greatest foundation!
Now that I graduated in college, I treat Kingdom Hall as my New School! Moving from other Congregation make me feel like I’m a transferee, who needs adjustments and new set of friends. But I am amazed with the friendship I had with those people over there with different personalities. My life had been complete and I never felt that I’m alone - I’m not with my biological family this time but everyone made me feel that I belong to a BIG-HAPPY-FAMILY! I had numerous Grandmas, Grandpas, Mommies, Daddies, Brothers and Sisters in the congregation… And words are not enough to thank them for the unconditional love they shown me and everything they taught me that I need to know.
They are so protective yet so comforting! I can’t remember nor can’t count the times I have to hold an uncontrolled laughter, chasing one another, strengthening faith, sharing knowledge, walking in the ministry together, numerous tears that they had wiped out, simple taps on my back and above all doing pure and plain nonsense things but still all these means everything!
They are there willing to give a helping hand with a joyful heart, without thinking twice, and without asking something in return.
I can’t imagine how my life would be without them - taking them away from me means taking away that precious “little piece of paradise” I had in me.
