A pass-along email which I received earlier this week from Sherri O'Brien. I had never seen it before; enjoy. If you also enjoy it, pass it along to another friend or two:
 
 
What is a friend?  What does a friend do?  Are you a good friend?  In our busy world, we often take our friends for granted.  Take time to 'just hang out' with your friends.  Jesus did.  He and His friends fished, ate together, took walks, and visited.  Call or write a friend today. 
 
A FRIEND:
(A)ccepts you as you are
(B)elieves in 'you'

(D)oesn't give up on you
