Girlfriends Need Each Other
Most of us receive tons of emails that are forwarded to us each week. Here’s one I wanted to share with you that came not as part of a “group” email sent to everyone on her list, but rather was addressed directly to me with the subject line, “You are one of these to me.” I hope it will encourage you to reach out to someone special in your life today - whether it’s out of need or perhaps to be a source of encouragement.
Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes. Men don’t do what they’re supposed to do. Hearts break. Parents die. Colleagues forget favors. Careers end.
But…sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girlfriend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley’s rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley’s end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you…Or come in and carry you out. Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughter-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, mothers, grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn’t be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other. Every day, we need each other still.
Thank God for your girlfriends and may the reality of God’s presence keep your heart and mind focused on Him today.
