Friendship is a gift of God. But it may be taken for granted in some cases and not valued. 1.Say one has no child even after many years of marriage and the other has many children, more than they can manage. What do you think? Will the couple with many children value the children as much as the couple which has none? Everything is relative in life. We value what we don’t have and give less value to what is freely available to us.2.

Why should we value friendships? What qualities does a good friend bring to our relationship that makes the friendship so valuable? Let us examine some of these.

Judgement——A good friend is rarely judgemental. We can be open in our behaviour with our good friends because we know that they will not judge us. 3. With other people our actions and behavior are always calculated and guarded and that takes away lots of pleasure from our life.

Share sorrow and losses ——A friend can be depended upon to share all our problems and sorrows. 4.Once I saw the image of a man left alone in a village after an earthquake. The whole village got killed except this man with whom, will this man share his sorrow? A friend gives us this gift.

Hope——During our times of trouble, only a friend comes forward and gives us encouragement and hope. 5.

A. This is no small gift of friendship.

B. Friendship is one such relationship

C. It is familiar to a case of two couples.

D. Some of us are blessed with good friends

E. We can enjoy this freedom only with friends

F. With that inspiration, we regain confidence in ourselves.

G. This sharing may not reduce the loss but helps us unburden ourselves.
