My Girlfriends

Friends. We all have them. I have several girlfriends I went to school with and still keep in touch with...I have mentioned some of them before. I have alot of friends from church. I have several friends from past jobs and old neighborhoods. We have lived here almost 3 weeks and over 6 families have welcomed us to the neighborhood. We are very blessed.
My definition of a friend is someone who listens to everything you say whether its worth hearing or not. A friend goes to coffee with you even if you come with a stroller and toddler......you have had no shower and your wearing flip flops and a scrunchie in your dirty hair. A friend comes over after work with no dinner to help you arrange your living room furniture...and stays until 9pm helping you out. A friend helps you move into a new home...brings you wonderful gifts even though you told them not too....a friend calls and offers you meals after a baby is born and comes and sits with you while you and baby sleep. A friend makes you a pie you are craving while pregnant.....and lets you eat the whole thing. A friend leans on you and lets you lean on them. A friend lets you call them at work and vent about something that really wont matter a year from now.....but it does at that moment. A friend helps you with child problems...gives you advice and opens your eyes to things you cannot see. A friend prays for you and with you. A friend celebrates with you and goes on trips with you and laughs with you.

You see I have a handful of the most brilliant, thoughtful, strong willed, compassionate loving, and wonderful women friends you could ever ask for.......Thank you God........I'm so blessed.
