A Little Bit of Friendship
As I went perusing the blogosphere recently I stumbled onto By His Grace - Amy. I found myself intrigued, encouraged and laughing through many of her witty little posts . . . thoroughly enjoying myself along the way. I’d like you to meet Amy - a 30 year old wife and stay at home mom with a 2 1/2 year old son. I think she’ll brighten your day and give you a little something to think about!
Friendships
On Wednesday, I made a trip to the city my family and I lived in until about 3 months ago. My destination was the salon to get my trusty stylist to make me look magnificent (although it takes many hours, days, weeks, months, years for that to happen). This was the place where our son was born, the place our spiritual walk with God grew abundantly and the place we have lifelong friends.
As I made my trip there and back, I had several hours to think about those friends (I hope my very best friend is reading this today). I am reminded when I think about those friendships how wonderful it must be for God to see his children forming bonds with each other that are not only centered around trust, honesty and love for each other, but most importantly around their love and faith for Him.
I have been very blessed in life to have met many people. My husband’s occupation has allowed us the opportunity to move several times (5 times in 8 years). I thank God daily for those relationships He has allowed me to gain along the way. But most of all, I thank God today and everyday for the true friends I have who have signed on for this journey through life with me.
Thank your friends today and let them know how wonderful they are to you! B, I thank you!
Dear Lord, thank you for the blessing of friendship. May you wrap your arms a little tighter around my friends today so that they know how dear they are to me. In your Son’s name, Amen.
Excellent highlight choice that you made Shera!
Amy- I’m am continually amazed and delighted with the friends that God places in my life’s journey when I need them most.
I’ve moved several times in my life and without fail I have always managed to form bonds of friendship in my new place of residence. Those friendships have helped me to adjust to the changes of new surroundings. They have offered comfort and joy.
I also have long-time friendships that began in my hometown and during college. These friendships have endured the test of time and distance.
I am eternally grateful for the blessings of friendships that God has bestowed upon me throughout the years! I’m glad you’ve been so blessed as well.
Friendships will see us through the good days and bad days. [Comment Edited by Administration to remove long advertisement for commentor's own blog]
