on this blog and I am ready to share once again.
GIRLFRIENDS come in all shapes, sizes, ages, ethnicities and
personalities. They are a blessing of God on our lives. Most of our
memories are linked to special people who are a part of an event.
It can be as simple as a shared lunch with lots of laughing!! My favorite expression between friends is a hug. So simple and so energizing and refreshing...ahhh.
One day I called my granddaughter, girlfriend. She was shocked. " I
don't like that Nana. You are not a boy and I don't want a boyfriend
either." I did some explaining and now she does not mind at all. It is
fun talking with her. She has quite a personality. Oh yes, she will
always be a loved girlfriend.
I have some young women who are dear girlfriends. They love to be
real and talk about what God is doing in their lives and their families.
It is so encouraging to know that God is working to bring these cute
young moms to a maturity in Christ that is amazing. Whenever I spend
time with them, I leave with a big smile on my face and in my heart.
My sisters are my girlfriends. They know me from the beginning and
they still talk to me!! God has allowed my older sister to live near me
for quite a few years now. We are so real with each other that most
women could not handle it. She loves me and prays for me as I do her.
We have lots of fun together and lots of spiritual talks. We lift up the
name of the Lord in our conversations.
I have a fun girlfriend my age. This relationship is wonderful because
we are both dealing with aging, grandparenting, forgetting things, etc.
We do so much laughing. We are both blingy ladies. Oh yes, you will
see us coming. When we are together, we do not feel our age. Remember
what it was like to have a girlfriend in high school? That is the feeling
with my fun friend.
I have 3 daughters and one daughter by marriage to my son. These
girls are all delightful. I enjoy our times together whether or not we
are shopping. They each bring something special as my girlfriends.
It is wonderful to be their friend and not just mom. What a joy they are
to me.
Lately, God is showing me that I need to be thankful for all of the
friends that He has provided. It is not something to be taken for
granted. They may not always be here. I may not always be here.
