February 18th

Lord, I give you thanks for the power of friendship. You put us on earth not to be alone, but to share life with other humans as we glorify and enjoy you. Help me to be a good friend, listening, caring and serving as Christ himself did. I give you thanks that my family knows the value of friendship, within out own small group and beyond. Help us see the value of one another without regard to age or gender, race or creed. Help all of us in my family to be Christ-like friends so that others might be drawn to Christ through us, and so that we ourselves might be more Christ-like.
