Friendship

Friendship Without Strings

"Freely you have received, freely give."
Matthew 10:8

Reflection

A friend is not a trade. Not helping today to collect tomorrow. God’s love teaches us to give without keeping score.

Prayer

Father, teach me to love without expecting a return. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What does giving freely mean?
  2. Why isn't friendship a trade?
  3. Who can you help without expecting anything back?

5-minute activity

Do a secret favor for a friend or neighbor today without telling them who did it. Talk afterwards about how giving without keeping score feels. Read Matthew 10:8.
