Good Morning or Good Afternoon or Good Evening,
this post should take approximately three minutes to read from start to finish.
Throughout our lives; I know that sometimes we may feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable when we meet and make new friends. We may feel so excited when we meet and make new friends. Sometimes we do not remind ourselves about what would be some of the risks that can happen when it comes with for being someone's friend.
"No matter where you live in the world; choose your friends wisely, and don't choose friends who are likely to judge your circumstances." I strongly know that our friends should have no time to judge and criticize our circumstances no matter what we are currently going through, and we were going through in the past.
We should be the same way. We should not have no time to judge and criticize our friends' circumstances no matter what they are currently going through, and what they were going through in the past. It is okay to be worried about friends' choices, but we should not allow their choices to impact our choices in our lives.

Loving Instead of Judging;
I know that I feel judged by some former friends in the past. I know those friends just assume a lot even when they do not have all information.
We should not make any assumptions before knowing all the information. For an example; I know that I was not expecting to be diagnosed of having left side ovarian cyst to be size of 2.5cm within the first six months into my marriage. I have felt the judgement by others because they assumed for multiple reasons why I have been gaining some weight so quickly for the first six months into my marriage.
They have assumed that I have gained some weight so quickly because
1. I seemed to be feeling a lot happier ever since I gotten married to Jacob, therefore the causes would be because I AM MARRIED, 2. The foods and the drinks has more ingredients, and the foods over here is very unhealthy no matter what I eat, and 3. I looked like if I was more than three months pregnant, and asked me bunch of times if I was pregnant.
We should not judge other people by their appearances or looks. For an example; I know that I got judged by others of the way that I look. I know that I do look differently, and I also know that I do walk differently than most people. I have bilateral hip dysplasia in other words, I have both hips that are out of socket.
Some people do laugh at me, some people just do not ask what medical condition that I have for me to caused walking differently, and some people has assumed that I have scoliosis in the past. Both bilateral dysplasia and scoliosis are two different medical conditions.
We should be communicating with kind and uplifting words.
For an example; it is always a good idea to communicate with kind and uplifting words. We all should know by now that if we do not say anything nice to say, then do not say it at all. We should not be hurting others' feelings by saying mean words.
I would like to share a portion of the "Friends" section from For The Strength of Youth pamphlet, and it states the following; "Everyone needs good and true friends. They will be a great strength and blessing to you. They will influence how you think and act, and even help determine the person you will become.
... Choose friends who share your values so you can strengthen and encourage each other in living high standards.
To have good friends, be a good friend. Show genuine interest in others; smile and let them know you care about them. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, and refrain from judging and criticizing those around you.
Do not participate in any form of bullying. ... If your friends urge you to do things that are wrong, be the one to stand for the right, even if you stand alone. You may need to find other friends who will support you in keeping the commandments. ..." - Here is the link if you would like to read the whole section of "Friends" from For The Strength of Youth pamphlet online either now or in your own time.
Stay Tuned until next time.
