These may be reminders. They may be challengers. They are descriptors John Sowers wrote to his daughters about what it means to be a friend.

1. Friends help us become who we were born to be.
2. A friend helps us see ourselves.
3. Wise people have a small friend circle.
4. Here’s a friend secret: be a friend initiator.
5. Here’s another friend secret: be an encourager.

(Chapter 21, Say All the Unspoken Things)
