I understand why you'd say that though. If a child or any adult comes and says to me:
"I got 3 Fs" - the first thing I'd say is "And you're proud of that?"
Too many times we are stereotyped unconsciously...
There are 3 Fs every Christian (in fact, everyone) should have, cherish and preserve:
Faith in God
Faith is putting all your eggs in God's basket,
then counting your blessings before they hatch. ~Ramona C. Carroll
To accept on faith is the basic requirement for getting on with life. ~ Robert Brault
Faith enables persons to be persons because it lets God be God. ~Carter Lindberg
Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death. ~Author Unknown
Faith makes things possible, not easy. ~Author Unknown As you know, with God nothing shall be impossible and with Him all things are possible. (Mark 10:27 para)
Family
~Joyce Brothers
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them. ~Desmond Tutu
In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. ~Alex Haley
To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there. ~Barbara Bush
Family is the most important thing on earth.
~Princess Diana
Friends and family can set us right. And help guide us back to the light. ~Sera Christann
And the last "F" is...
Friends
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose. ~Tennessee Williams
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care. A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart. ~Collin McCarty
A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walk out. ~Walter Winchell
A friend is someone who knows who you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you become, and still gently invites you to grow.
~William Shakespeare
The best part of these 3 "F"s is that they are all intertwined - if you start with Faith in God. You gain a new family in addition to your natural family and true friends come as a bonus.
