That's for sure, Ozzie!  I'm just so tired of finding out that my judgment skills don't seems to be getting any better.

And Back Tooooo,
My dad had a bit of advice when we were growing up. When I adhere to that my judgement skills are pretty good, but when I ignore what daddy said, I usually get it in the neck. Sometimes we try to make to many allowances for behavior that bothers us.  If you have to excuse behavior of a friend, find reasons for it,or don't like the way they treat others,watch, your turn is coming.

ADMIN HAT OFF!

How should a person handle the situation when they discover that someone they once considered a friend has turned on them?

I would say they never were a true friend then, just really an acquaintance.....

Snoopy,

I've been there too Snoopy. Whom does one trust, can one trust to have or develop new friends.

I'm so sorry for your pain. Trust and true friendship are things to
be treasured. When that is broken, it is hard to forgive, trust and move on.

This theme of having a friend turn on you is a real experience to me as well.

Why does not a friend keep up with the inspired words saying "A friend loveth at all times" ? And what is happening that we loose friends that stick closer than a brother to us?

Why was Abraham called "the friend of God"? What did he do to deserve that title? Remember how in proverbs Solomon said that iron sharpens iron like the friend sharpens the countenance of his friend?

Perhaps it ought to be time to talk on how friends becomes enemies and how to love our enemies as our Master Jesus expects of us?

Thank you, W.I.L.T!  I guess each day just brings more lessons!

   hugs to a friend in hurt.
@--;---;------

[W.I.L.T]

 I appreciate that others are able to acknowledge their hurts. I pray that any responses are done in a caring Christian manner.

It takes alot to say, hey, I'm hurting.

I will keep those hurting in my prayers, that healing may take place. If it's wise the friendship be repaired, if not, that the Lord provides a new trustworthy friend.
