I have the best friends in the whole world. I really do. They love me, in spite of all my flaws. They pray for me and walk the spiritual walk with me. They care for me when I'm down or sick. They take care of and love my kids. They love what I love and laugh when I laugh. They have also cried tears with me. We can be silly, serious, or both at the same time. I have so many wonderful, precious friends.
One such friend just blessed me recently. She gave me a wonderful girlie skirt that I wore to church and felt just fabulous in! But more than that, I feel so blessed because she just gets me. She gets that I love clothes-fashionistas we both are. She gets that hair matters. We desperately want Beth Moore to do a study on how to balance the girlie parts of us with the Spiritual parts of us. (Beth Moore and Betty Robinson go shopping together. Is that not a hoot?) She lets me share bargains with her, because she loves them as much as I do and she loves a good garage sale as much as me. She loves to decorate and loves to eat as much as I do.
We do frustrate each other. I can just hear her saying, "Ahhhh, A.m.y.!!!" in that way she does. And I can hear her saying, "I know. I'm sorry..." when she knows that she's about to get in trouble with me! We are as different as we are alike, but as I pondered the joys of friendship this week, what I came to is that
It's just good to be gotten.
To have friends that "get" you. That let you be you. And love you just for you.
I really do have the best friends in the world. I hope we grow old together, have showers for each others kids, hold each others grand babies, go on old peoples' vacations and share the lives that God gave us with each other.
