FriendBurst Blog

Welcome to Friendburst Activities ~ Friend to Friend

Friend to Friend is a social activity blog designed to spur sharing among the Friendburst community through writing.

The purpose of this blog is to motivate members to share their stories with each other using the friendburst features (Blogs, Bulletins, or Group forum).  Our objective is to have you write about yourself so can learn more about each other, by visiting each other’s Friend to Friend posts.

To participate, we ask that you:

1. Write whatever you like on the suggested topic in a blog, bulletin or forum

2. Then provide the link to your blog, bulletin or forum post in the comments here.

3. Click on the other links people have shared and visit their posts

4. Come back occasionally during the week to see if new posts are here for you to visit.

Thank you for participating!!!

FRIENDS:

The Value of a Friend

    ⁹ Two are better than one,
      Because they have a good reward for their labor.
       ¹⁰ For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
      But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
      For he has no one to help him up.
       ¹¹ Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;
      But how can one be warm alone?
       ¹² Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
      And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

                                                                                Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
