Friends...

Humans are not always alone. God create Eve for Adam so that Adam is not alone. Human need to interact with each other. When I was in primary school, I remember we used to play hide and seek in the classroom. That was a fun time for me but when I come to secondary school my friends that I have was a little bit crazy. They enjoy doing crazy stuff. Chemistry was our favourite subject but I never pass that subject. Why I say so? Because chemistry was the only subject that deal with chemical the most. We will mix up the entire chemical that is outside the display glass and test all the powder that is displayed.

I remember that one day we almost blow up the whole chemistry lab. We try something stupid that day by mixing up all the chemical and powder into the test tube and suddenly the test tube become so hot until we do not know what to do. So one of my friends suggest that we throw the chemical to the flower pot. Just a few minute the plant that is inside the flower pot began to turn yellow. We do not know what to do. One brilliant friend of mine saw an umbrella and open it. He turn the umbrella upside down and began to feel it with water. As soon he water almost fill up the upside down umbrella he run to the flower pot but before he reach the flower pot, the umbrella broke because it was heavily filled with water and poor him that his whole shoe is wet.

We laugh and laugh at his silly idea. That was a memory that I will always treasure in my mind and will always think back of the fun times that I have in secondary school. Well, as we grow we will have different circle of friends. Friends do come and go. There is a proverb saying, “When there is a beginning, there is always and ending”. As they grow they have different walks of life and different goal to achieve in life.

School days will be always the best days in my life for me. It was so fun that I usually hang out with my friends to do silly stuff. Sometime there are friends that purposely break you up discourage you with their kiasu attitude. Some will knock you down along the journey. I takes time to get up and to recover the bruises. I have one friend that will never leave me nor forsake you that is Jesus. I like a hymn called “What a friend we have in Jesus”. It will always remind me of Jesus’ promise that he will never failed to fulfil it. He knows me when I am small and till know He is the only best friend that I have.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your request to God” (Phil 4:5).
