  Look at the little Christian girl!! She thinks that she’s so cool!  What makes her so special? She’s just a crazy fool.  Everyone says, it’s all pretend, That there’s no truth to what she says.. that Jesus is a Friend!

  
  

  *~~~~~~~~~*
  Jesus ”the friend of tax collectors and sinners” (Luke 7:34). He befriended the alienated, morally down and out people of His day. ” Jesus loved the sinner but hated the sin. He treated people he came in contact with as individuals of great worth .

  
  

   He looks at you and sees what you can become, not what you are. He holds out his hand and says, “Come, accept my friendship and be my friends.”

  
  

  ~From the heart of Fancy~

  
  

  Trying to be a good friend is important and we give our heart in friendship that’s certain.If we’ve been betrayed by a friend it’s a hurt hard to forget but we must somehow.The secret to attracting good friends in our life is by being a good friend.Love and hug’s Fancy

  
  

  

  
  

  1. Romans 5:6-8 “For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7- For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8- But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

  ~What is a good friend~

  
  

   

  
  

  1. Do things to raise the self-esteem of others. Be supportive, give them the benefit of the doubt, and don’t ridicule or belittle them.

  
  

  2. Persevere in your efforts outside your comfort zone to help the common good. Do things that help others to have better lives, and keep doing things even when you feel like quitting.

  
  

  3. Give the same effort to a fair decision you disagree with as to one you agree with. Try unto others when you disagree with them as you would want them to try unto you.

  
  

  4. Ask for help or assistance. Ask when you need help instead of acting like a victim or martyr and expecting people to feel sorry for you.

  
  

  5. Quickly and sincerely thank someone who has helped you. Be aware and grateful to others for their help — and tell them.

  
  

  6. Quickly offer help without the other person having to ask for it. When you notice that someone could use your help, offer it without waiting for them to ask.

  
  

  7. Forgive and forget after you’ve been hurt and quickly move on. When people make honest mistakes that hurt you, let it go as soon as possible. This doesn’t mean letting hurtful people hurt you again. Have a long memory for the good things that people do and a short memory for the bad things.

  
  

  8. Quickly recognize and earnestly apologize for your failures of commission or omission. Own up to mistakes you make. Say what you will do differently in the future to prevent them from reoccurring, then keep your commitment.

  
  

  9. Enthusiastically congratulate someone else on his or her achievement or good fortune. It’s normal to feel envy or even jealousy when good things happen to others, but you don’t have to give into these feelings and begrudge others or be ungracious.

  
  

  10. Give more to the world than you take from it. Do more things to put a smile on other people’s faces rather than focusing on what you think they should be doing for you.
