Loyalty to the Extreme
Read Ruth, chapter 1.
Thought for today: If a friend disappoints you, goes off the deep end, does something stupid, or even repulsive, that friend is still your friend. You do not say, “I’ll never trust you or like you again.” You’re always ready to forgive and start over with a friend.

Something more to think about: As you read the story about Ruth and Naomi, what bugged you about Naomi’s attitude? What did you find wonderful about Ruth’s attitude? Is there someone in your life who is like Naomi (maybe even you, sometimes)? If you’re feeling discouraged about your friend’s attitude, be sure to talk to an adult about the situation in order to gain some ideas.
