So my little grandson started pre-school. He made a friend we will call her Izzy. The first day of schoolm when it was nap time he went over and pulled his cot up next to hers. The teacher told my daughter when she came to pick him up and my daughter ask if that was okay. The teacher said, "For the first week we will let it go but then we will have to seperate them." When I shared the story with my husband he said, "He's a real man. Men like to have pretty things close to them." Well Izzy remains his friend. They save one another a seat. They celebrate one another. When one or the other gets sick, they miss each other. We all need a friend.
Proverbs 18:24 teaches, “One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, / but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Given the fact that we normally think of blood being thicker than water, this proverb is rather jarring: there are ways that a friend can be more faithful than a brother.
Today show yourself friendly. The Bible tells us if we want to have a friend we need to be a friend. Friends mean more to you as you grow older. I encourage you to pull your friends close. We can learn a lot about being a friend from children. They don't judge they just love.
