Best of Friends

What is a BFF anyway?
I listened to a talk recently from a home school mom about friends and how having too many "friends" can literally suck the life out of you. I agree and disagree with this. I agree because a good friend can mean more than a coveted cup of morning coffee. (I have some really great friends.) A great friend can teach you more about yourself than you may have ever figured out on your own.
On the flip side I've starting thinking what kind of friend I am? What kind of friend do I want to be. Am I that friend that is sucking the life out of someone? Or am I someone that is making someones life better by being in it?

I remember as a child being on the playground and someone coming up and saying will you be my best friend? Only to find out the next day that she was best friends with someone else.
So how many friends do you have? Do you have one or many. What kind of friend are you?
