24 Days of Thanksgiving - Day 15

I'm so thankful for my friends

There was a time in my life, when I first became a stay-at-home mom, when I had no friends and I was super lonely.  I knew other moms, people from church, but they weren't the kind of people I could share much with or got together with on a regular basis.  I remember praying for 1 good friend, someone I could talk to and build a relationship with so I wasn't so lonely all the time.

God answered my prayer above and beyond a few years later.  Right now I have quite a few quality friends, friends who are true friends and who I know are there for me.  Each friend plays a different role in my life, but they are all important.  God knew I needed friends who I could be myself with, friends who I could share the most intimate details about my life with, friends who shared my love of coffee and shopping and coupons, friends who are in love with Jesus, friends who build me up and encourage me, friends who I could be a blessing to. 

I thank God so much for the women He has placed in my life to be my friends.  I know that God appointed these friends for this season in my life and I am extremely grateful.  I pray that I can bless my friends as much as they have been a blessing to me.
