The church I serve is blessed to have a wonderful lady named Sara White in our community. She put together a great list of eleven characteristics of a good friend that I thought I’d share with you! Here is her list:
- Loyal – stick by me in any circumstance.
- Honest – won’t lie to me, no matter what.
- Supportive – will support me in my goals.
- Fun to be with – wants to do things and have fun together.
- Good listener – will listen when I need to vent.
- Respectful – don’t bash others.
- Like my kids and husband!
- Want to spend time with me.
- Sincere – like me for me, not what I can do for them.
- Empathetic – I am emotional and worry. I need someone who can empathize with me and comfort me.
- Respond to me – don’t ignore me when I text or call!
What do you think? Would you add anything to this? Let us know!
