GOD SHOWS HIS LOVE IN FRIENDS LIKE YOU!
When I was little, I use
to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to
become a woman.
And then I found out that
if you allow your heart to open up,
God will show you the best
in many friends.
One friend's best is
needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend's best is
needed when you're going through things with your momma.
Another when you want to
shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say let's
pray together, Another let's cry together,
Another let's fight
together, Another let's walk away together...
One friend will meet your
spiritual need,
Another your shoe fetish,
Another your love for movies,
Another will be with you
in your season of confusion,
Another will be your
clarifier, Another the wind beneath your wings...
But whatever their
assignment in your life,
On whatever the occasion,
on whatever the day,
Or where ever you need
them to meet you
With their gym shoes on
and hair pulled back or
To hold you back from
making a complete fool of yourself...
Those are your best
friends. It may all be wrapped up in one woman,
But for many it's wrapped
up in several... One from 7th grade, One from high school,
Several from the college
years, A couple from old jobs, Several from church,
On some days your mother,
On others your sisters, and
On some days it's the one
that you needed just for that day or week
that you needed someone
with a fresh perspective,
Or the one who didn't know
all your baggage, or
The one who would just
listen without judging...
Those are good
girlfriends/best friends.
Men are wonderful,
husbands are excellent,
Boyfriends are awesome,
male friends are priceless...
But if you've ever had a
real good girlfriend,
Then you know
there's nothing like her!
I thank God for
girlfriends, Those who honor intimacy, Those who hold trust,
and Those who just got
your back when you feel like life is just too heavy!
I thank God for you.
The special bond we share
that's unique to us.
The words we've shared.
The prayers we've sent up.
The laughs, the tears, the
phone calls, the emails,
The shopping, the movies,
the lunches, the dinners,
The late night talks,
afternoon talks, the weekend talks,
All the talking, talking,
talking and the listening, listening, listening...
So whether you've been
there 20 minutes or 20 years, I love you!
