Real FriendsSample

Have you ever stubbed your toe on the edge of a piece of furniture? It’s pretty much the worst pain in the world—at least for a moment! And in that moment, you probably think, Why didn’t I see that coming?

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone helped you see the mess you were in before it happened? If they saw you walking toward what might cause you pain and stopped you before you got there? That’s what real friends do for one another. 

When we let real friends live life close to us, they can help make us aware of things in our lives that could potentially hurt us. They can help us see the right path and encourage us to walk it. In other words, they have our back! 

This week, make an effort to look out for your friends—and ask them to do the same for you.
