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 what ever 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!
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!
THE WONDERFUL WOMEN IN MY CIRCLE!!
From the Hebrew Talmud
"Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on. Not from his head to be superior, But from the side to be equal. Under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved."
