Be a Friend

It seems that so many people struggle with many things these days.  One of them is a sense of belonging, or friendship.  I have always thought that my true friends are people who make it easier to live the gospel of Jesus Christ.   It is a form of benevolence to be a friend.  In the sense of being a friend, seeking another person’s highest good is the essence of true friendship. It is putting someone else first. With social media, the term “friend” is often used to describe a contact rather than an actual relationships.  With social media, we have the ability to send your “friends” a message, but this is not the same thing as having a relationship with a person one on one.  True friends influence others to rise a little higher and be a little better.  Lets all try to be a better friend. Let us all try to find an opportunity to serve someone this week.
