A Friend Loves at all times

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. 

 

 

A Good Friend is a Rare Treasure

                                    Do You Have Good Friends?

I mean, really good friends!  I think a good friend is like a Life raft. 

They will help when you are stressed.

My Grandma says, to have a friend, I must be a friend

I  Helped Alexa Bake a Cake

I like to cook and bake with my friends.
A lot of my friends are girls... From church.
We have a lot more girls than boys there, but that is O.K.

Being a friend sometimes means letting others do stuff I
really wanted to do

I let Alexa ice the cake, because she never had iced a cake before.

Her mom doesn't let her do that. 

It turned out yummy

Friends help each other: 

We planted flowers at a Nursing Home, and 

my friends helped me by telling me where to dig the holes
it was so hot and fun at the same time

May  3rd 2015 we planted flowers at the patio at the Nursing home.

My friends and I showed TEAMWORK!

 Let no one seek his own good, 

but that of his neighbor.

-I Cor. 10:24

It was pretty hot, but the flowers were so
colorful and the old people loved it,
so sweating so much was not so bad.

All of the Youth came and helped out

Even little Garret worked in the Garden

We got it all cleaned up after making a big mess

Mrs. Evans and Miss Too Ha are
hard workers 

It was hard work, but worth it! 

Afterward, we had Luncheon with 2 church friends and we visited and played 

Proverbs 27:17

Iron sharpens iron, 
one man sharpens another.
