Friends
Last night as I was lying in bed, I felt a sense of gratitude for the wonderful friends God has blessed me with. Some of my favourite people were at my house last evening for a Pampered Chef party. I've never had a huge following of friends...I don't have the personality or the stamina to maintain many relationships. At times in my life I've felt friendless. At those times God, in his loving grace, reminds me of the deep and meaningful friendships I have. Some of my friends are old enough to be my mother. Maybe God knows I need those people because my own mother has been gone for 20 years now. They bring stability and wisdom to my life. Some of my friends are kindred spirits...the kind that just click right away, even though we haven't known each other that long. There's just a sense that we understand each other. God has been so good to me. He gives us what we need, and that's not always what we want. I am thankful today for the wonderful people God has brought and continues to bring into my life.

Me too. :) Thanks for the fun party - see you next week! bonnie
Hey, I feel like I could have written this post! LOL! I have gone through a similar situation with friends 'dropping' out of my life. Isn't it funny how we overlook what we do have. We truly need friends. Even when we don't want to admit it, being liked is always nice.
Your friendship is a huge gift to me...I figure it's a gift straight from the hand of God.
I was struck by the strong women that were in your family room/kitchen that evening. You attract that kind of person!
