Friendship

In my quiet time I was reading my devotion for today and the scripture was  “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” — Proverbs 18:24  Reading this scripture makes me think how blessed I am to have special friends that I can count on, but most of all it makes me think of someone who I would have never thought I would depend on everyday. Other than Christopher the person that I can always depend on is Gayle or Gaga as my children lovingly call her. I truly believe the Lord places people in our lives at just the right time. Friendships between Christians are especially sweet because of the bond of Christ.  After reading in Proverbs today I couldn’t help think about how lucky I am to have a friend like her. 

Soon after my mother in law passed away Gayle kind of stepped in and took her place. She is one of those people who just steps in and does what needs to be done. I can and have called her at 3am and she came running. The kind of friend that will pray for me and with me when I need it. The kind of friend who goes along with my crazy ideas. The kind of friend who is always listens to me and give me advise when it might not be what I want to hear. 

I am so thankful that the Lord placed it on her and Mr. Jerry’s heart to want to help us with our children. She will be quick to tell you that if they didn’t want to do it they wouldn’t.  I pray that the Lord gives me a servants heart like she has.
