Girls In My Circle.......

GIRLS IN MY CIRCLE

   
  When I was little,
I used 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 would show you the best in many friends.       One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man.
Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, '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 wherever 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,
On some days your mother,
On some days your neighbor,
On others, your sisters,
And on some days, your daughters..    

So whether they've been a friend for 20 minutes or 20+ years,
AND ONLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO,
Hug the women that God has placed in your life
To make a difference.   

Bless you, dear heart

Genie,

Hi Genie,

This is so, so true.  Hugs to you!

Cathy

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  Someone sent this to me when I was down and beating myself up about life and situations that seem to get us down.  This site has bought so many of us closer together, and after reading about Kathy's cancer scare  I thought it was more than appropriate to share with my friends here on BOTT.

I love this and so true. Thanks for sharing

wow, Pearl - what an inspiration you are.  Thanks so much for sharing with us
