Friendship by Caroline

What is friendship? What does Friendship mean to you?

When I say the word “friendship” it makes me think of love and trust.

The definition of friendship is 'the emotion, or conduct of friends; the state of

being friends'. Another meaning is ‘a state of trust and support between

nations’. I think of my family as a nation. We support each other in every way

possible, and we love each other very much. You know you have a friend

when you can trust them, support them, love them, and respect them, and

they will do the same for you.

At St. Mary’s, we have many friendships with each other. You can still

become a friend with someone who is not the same age as you; you can be

friends with not only your classmates but with your teachers, your parents, and

other people that matter to you. One of our deepest friendships is with God.

God is not only our friend, but he is our family. "Friends in Christ are

friends forever," (–unknown). This quote reminds me that those who trust in

Christ are trusting in you and they are true friends because they believe in

Christ who is always with you lighting the way along the Journey.
