Proverb 17:17
The Proverbs tell us that to be a friend
means to give of yourself.
I have a friend who needed help
making a costume.
Lauren had fabric and an idea, so My Mom and I invited her to our home for a day to see if my we could help her.
I I thought it might be fun to join in the sewing.
Here is the drawing of the idea that Lauren
brought to our home for
her Fairy Costume.
We worked hard all day,
cutting fabric, measuring,
and sewing.
It was hard,
but we also had some fun
while we worked.
I had never used a sewing machine before, and it is known to be a Woman Skill, but it was fun for me to sew using the machine, too.
My Dad says that I will need to know my way around a Sewing Machine if I am to become a Small Engine Repair Man.
So I did not think I was "girlie" to use the sewing machine today.
Here is the Finished thing.
Lauren was really happy that day
when she finished the costume project.
I think this Memory Verse means that a friend loves another friend during all things that happen in life.
Sometimes a friend will stop being nice, or stop wanting to be with me so much, but I think the Bible tells me in this verse to keep on loving that friend no matter how she or he treats me.
Real friendship lasts in the bad times
and the good times.
I want to be that kind of a friend.
I think Jesus was that kind of a Friend
to Peter and the others.
