friends

Bless them who wait with us,
Who labor with us,
who cry with us.

Bless them who know our limits,
Who push us beyond them,
Who see us through.

Bless them who call us to our strengths
Who tend us in our weaknesses,
Who dress each ragged wound.

Bless them who laugh in the face of convention,
Who weep for our own pain,
Who bind us to come and live.

Jan Richardson




This poem reminds me of the incredible women God has placed in my life……bless you and thank you for everything you add to my life. The picture is of me and three friends when we were in India in 2005. The four of us had all been to the tsunami area together and it was very impacting to us. We created a bond through that experience and the fact that we has each other to process with helped us work through the difficulties.

I encourage you to take some time today to reflect on the women God has put in your life to make the journey easier. Thank Him for their presence and consider letting them know, in some small way, that they have made a difference.

Grace and Peace,
Deb
