Be a good friend, and be careful who you choose

 Proverbs 26:5 “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.”

Yesterday I played Pickle ball with a kindergarten teacher.  I remembered the book,”Everything I needed to learn, I learned on Kindergarten.   When my boys were in kindergarten the teacher had a sign up, it read “How to pick friends”.  It went on to explain what a good friend is verses a bad friend.   A good friend has qualities such as honesty, kindness, generosity, sharing, and good citizenship bad friend has qualities and selfish, gossipy, lying ….  This made me think of people I let into my life.  I tend to mimic the people I hold close to me    Therefore it’s extremely important that I chose those people wisely or I will go down into the pit with them.    Sometimes I befriend people that I want to help raise up, but more often than not if I let an ungodly person close to my heart I deteriorate verses Me bringing them up.   Proverbs 26:4 “Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.”      I do think we are to befriend and love many types of people, but we need to be careful whom we let influence us.    I hope this helps you today, Be a good friend and be careful in the choosing of your closest friends.   😇🙏❤️
