How do we measure our friends? Do we count the times they text, call, or Facebook chat us? The number of times we hang out during a week? How thoughtful they are? What is a good measurement?
I'm not sure that it is possible to have just one answer. It is the combination of traits in each individual that makes a good friend a best friend.
There are a few different ways to test your best friends though:
1) Middle name - Many people say that you don't really know a person until you know their middle name.
2) Favorite __(insert item here)__? - It's the ice cream flavor that matters here.
3) Birthday - Sadly, I fail at this one. I'm sorry, friends. Thank you, Facebook.
4) Family tree - You get extra points if you know where they live.
Of course there is more, but these are the basics. Right? Maybe. Who knows? No one. For me, a best friend is a person who has my back whether they are standing next to me or whether they are an hours drive away. They have my best interests in mind and they always keep me in their prayers (a person can always use more prayers). Best friends are the people who you can feel distant from, feel like you aren't in the group anymore, feel like the friendship has dissolved and, with a few hours together, feel like no time has passed since your last visit to see them. Best friends live in the moment together and don't let a moment pass without being thankful for each other and God's hand in each of their lives and their friendship.
