Someone once told me that your heart is like a garden full of flowers.  Some will walk by your garden and see nothing.  Some will walk into your garden and steal flowers.  And others will come into your garden and not only help you to remove the weeds, but also plant more flowers for you.  These are the friends you should keep.  These are the relationships that you should keep.  Guard your garden, guard your heart.

I had a conversation with one of my friends the other day.  We both were able to catch up with each other and see how each other were doing.  During that time while we were hanging out I realized how blessed I was to have him as friend.  Although we sometimes get into small arguments, one thing that I value most about our friendship is we are able to speak truth and in love to help each other be better people.  When one falls, the other is able to lift the other up.

Who are you letting into your life?  Do they pull you up or pull you down?
