Girlfriends.

My lovely friend who lives across the road has been away. Only for a week but it has seemed like years. We drink a lot of tea together.

My fabulous cousin has been really busy so we have not chatted so much. We share so much and pray together over the phone.

My sister, who is busy woman and another very dear friend have all had lots on their plates. So have I. We talk a lot.

Another friend has put up with me cancelling dinner with her..twice. We laugh a lot.

So the past couple of days have seen lots of catching up with each of them and it has been wonderful.

My girlfriends are amazing women...they inspire me, encourage me, listen to me, laugh with me (and sometimes at me!!) eat chocolate with me, pray with me, clean my kitchen while I catch up on much needed sleep and generally make me feel better about myself when the going gets tough.

I cannot imagine my life without them. Their wisdom, humour, tea-making skills and love are what makes me who I am. I am truly grateful for them and thank God for bringing them into my lives.

Girlfriends are a gift from God and I thank Him for blessing me with fabulous wonderful girlfriends.

With love,

Rachel.
