The Women We Know


When you share with your girlfriend intimate details of your life, shortcomings, disappointments, fears, joys, successes, challenges, health issues, family drama, and the "Ins and Outs" of navigating through this thing called life and the person you are sharing with meets you with prayer, support, a shoulder to cry on, a smile, a Kleenex, hope, humor, and looks at you with understanding do you not just want to yell THANK YOU GOD! Thank you for this gift of a friend because when I'm with her, I feel normal.

Human.

Understood.

Loved.

I am just so grateful for my friendships and for all the ways they touch my life. I really feel like the women we know are the threads that stitch up the biggest warmest invisible quilt that we wear when the storms of life come.

Celebrate the women YOU know in every season of life and Thank our Heavenly Father for the spools of thread that adorn your quilt.
