The Imitation of Christ - Thomas a Kempis
Book 1 Chapter 8
Of the Danger of Too Much Familiarity
I have just been praying about the importance of good friends for our children, and how we can foster healthy Christian relationships between them and their peers.
God was gracious to point me to this quote from Kempis.
Let thy company be the humble and the simple, the devout and the gentle, and let thy discourse be concerning things which edify.
Lord, help me to teach my children these truths and to discern between those relationships that fit this standard vs. those that don't.
