Writer's Block Wednesday (#23)

The word this week is ASSUMPTION. At Bible Study this week, I was inspired to write this piece...

Definition of Real Friendship

(inspired by Mark 2:1-4)

Copyright 2011

Dear Friend~

I am broken.

Can you carry my mat

or

will you tell me your hands are full carrying your own burdens?

I am paralyzed with a combination of fear and uncertainty.

Can you take me where I need to go

or

will you stick with me and create a comfortable atmosphere of complacency?

I am weak....can’t find my own strength.

Can you make a way for me to get through

or

will you complain that you barely have enough energy to take care of yourself?

I am lost.

Can you lead me to the One

or

will you direct me to temporary fixes with no purpose or promise?

No longer am I making assumptions about friendship

A true

honest

r

eal

friend

will carry my mat
