Life Hacks: Friendship

Were you ever part of club? When I was in Elementary school, I formed the "Best Buddies Club" with some friends from church. We modelled our 'club' after the Baby-Sitters Club book series. We had a president, secretary and treasurer and we held regular club meetings.

At its core, the best buddies club (also known as the BBC) was about a few girls learning how to be friends. The BBC has disbanded now. We all live in different towns and we're all busy with our growing families but we're also still good friends.

Proverbs gives us some important truths about friendships - King Solomon reminds us the dangers of gossip (Proverbs 16:28),  the value of loyalty, not popularity (Proverbs 18:24) and the importance of walking with the wise (Proverbs 13:20).

This week's devotion focuses on making friends with wise people! Read through it and spend some time discussing the reflection questions with your family.  

Remind your kids that Jesus is not only a model of a great friend, he can also be OUR very best friend! If you need a reminder of what it means to have Jesus as a friend - read this short but encouraging post.
