Listen from:
Jack and Tom are pals. They like doing things together. Right now they are having fun climbing trees. It is nice to have a friend.
A poor boy was once asked by his teacher to stand up and tell the class what a friend was. He thought for a moment and then gave his answer: “A friend is a feller that knows all about ya, an’ likes ya jest the same!” The Bible says, “A friend loveth at all times.” Prov. 17:1717A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (Proverbs 17:17); and “There is a Friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Prov. 18:2424A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24). How true this is of the Lord Jesus! Do you know this Friend?
