Best Friends For Everlasting Life (BFFELL) is an acronym my daughter and one of her good
friends invented. They coined the term when they were very young
and they didn't know everlasting was really just one word and not two. She said they thought about changing the ending to EL, but ELL just rolled off the tongue better. I think they were smart to add the
extra letter. When it comes to friends,
extras are always better and you can never have too many!
God knows we need friends. The
bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10:
Two are better than one, because
they have a good return for their work: if one falls down, his friend can help
him up. But pity the man who falls and
has no one to help him up!
In our lifetime, many different
friends walk across our path. Some of these friends have been in our lives
forever, which is a rare and beautiful gift.
Other friends grace us for just a short period of time, but they leave
their footprints on our heart, which makes them a BFFELL.
Friends bring a joy to us we could
never have imagined. They teach us
valuable lessons and they help us through difficult trials. Friendship is a gift to treasure forever and
for always. Michael W. Smith put it best
when he sang “Friends are friends forever, if the Lord’s the Lord of them…and a
lifetime’s not too long to live as friends.” It makes me smile when I think about all the BFFELLs God has given me, and I
am thankful for each and every one of them.
