I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who worries about having the in-style jeans,
but instead she has the seemingly out-of-style response of actually answering truthfully when asked “How are you?”
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who is concerned about having blonde highlights in her hair,
but instead having the highlights of kindness, respect, love, and joy in her life.
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who listens to the ‘dirty music’,
but instead jams out to Christian artists.
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who constantly complains that “Life sucks”,
but instead she complains that too many people are ungrateful for how amazing life is here.
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who is obsessed with money,
but instead she is obsessed with raising money for her charity 30 Famine for starving children.
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who complains about school,
but instead makes me realize time and time again how I appreciate my education.
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who is distracted by boys,
but instead knows what to focus on and unwilling to change her boundaries.
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who goes ga-ga over Cure for Wellness
but instead geeks with me about The Lego Batman Movie.
I am so glad that I don’t have a friend who anxious about her make-up being top-notch
but instead cares about top-notch values.
I am so glad that I have you,
my best friend.
