A Minute For MommySample

The Blessing of Friendship Whether you are sharing exciting news, needing advice on a tough situation, or just chatting about nothing, our friends are there for us. We love our husbands and we adore our children, but as women, we need other like-minded individuals who can relate to us in a way no one else can. We are fortunate when God blesses us with these special people. Over the past few years, especially now that I have young children, I have come to realize how special my close friends really are. I need them in my life and I would be very lonely without them. I understand how important it is to make time for them, no matter how busy I get with my day-to-day responsibilities. Just like I need my earthly friends in my life, I need my eternal and best friend, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ even more. Unfortunately, I often forget to turn to him when I have exciting news to share or hardships I need help with. I imagine Jesus sitting by the phone or maybe looking at his e-mail account and wondering why I haven't contacted him. Just like my girlfriends, he wants me to reach out to him. He wants to rejoice with me when I have good news, and he wants to cry with me and hold me when I am discouraged and sad. Jesus, more than anyone, understands everything I am going through, no matter how big or how small. I am so thankful God has given me such wonderful friends here on earth. I pray you have been blessed with special people you can turn to in the good and bad times. But I am most thankful we can share the "best friend" anyone can have in this world. I am going to give him a call today. I hope you will too!
