BFF: Fabulous friends make all the difference!

Have you ever had the priviledge of being part of a relationship with someone who you could sincerely call your best friend? What were they like? How did they make you feel as a person? Did they laugh at your jokes? Did they lend a helping hand in your times of need? Did they like to do the same types of activities you enjoyed? How do we know when someone we meet has the potential to be that "best friend" we've always dreamed of having and hope to hold on to forever?

For all those people in my life that I have had the rare opportunity to consider being my dear friend and Godly counsel, I pray for God's richest blessings upon you today and in the years to come. You have helped me in this journey of life more than you'll ever know. It is a treasured gift to both have a friend and to be a friend to someone else. It's an even greater blessing to have that someone special that outshines the rest and to be trusted with the title, "BFF". So exactly what do you do to earn the respect of your friends and learn to be a terrific BFF?

Share with me today (if you would be so kind) and leave a comment about what you feel are some great qualities or actions that a best friend should say, or do to help their bff. I look forward to reading & commenting back on them.

Matthew 7:12a, "so in everything, do unto others as you would have them do unto you" always comes to mind when I think of being a best friend. I also enjoy: Proverbs 17:17 "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." Please feel free to also share your favorite verse or phrase that keeps you in the right mindset to be a fabulous friend. Thanks for visiting & be very blessed this weekend!
All these comments on how to be a great best friend will be passed on as wisdom to my children and others who are blessed to read them, as they learn to grow in the Lord and in their relationships with friends and family. Sometimes kids "hear" best when it comes from someone other than just mom and dad. :) God bless you for sharing your gems of advice as we try to raise the next generation with love and kindness.
