A thought bounces around my head sometimes. It goes "I hope to be worthy of my friends someday." Then it goes "Wait, I am worthy. How do I know this? Because if I wasn't, then why would I even have such great friends? I'm worthy because if I wasn't then my friends wouldn't be as amazing as they are. They wouldn't ask how my day was, they wouldn't tell me I'm wonderful (I am surprised I haven't grown an ego.), they wouldn't try to sympathize when I was sad, and I wouldn't be thinking, I hope to be worthy of such amazing friends. I'm sure there is a saying somewhere about how the friends you keep are reflections of yourself, and I'd honestly like to dispute that since there are many more factors to friendship like history and how people change, but the base of it is; the friends you keep, affect your personality. They nurture certain traits in you and expose you to certain ways of thinking.
We never really stop learning. And when I say (or write) learning most people usually think of school, but the truth is we are constantly picking up things in our everyday life, and behaviors are learned by emulating. Like how babies emulate sound in order to learn how to talk.
Back to the subject;
How do I know I'm worthy.
I'm worthy because in surrounding myself with these amazing people, I learn from them. And in learning from them, I am emulating their behavior, and since they exhibit wonderful traits, I learn to exhibit wonderful traits, leading to me being worthy of their friendship, because I now exhibit the traits of these amazing people.
I know it's past thanksgiving, but I really do thank the Lord for granting me the blessing of not only wonderful friends, but also of wonderful family.
I hope to stay worthy.
See you on the flip side, Meow.
