Saturday evening I got together with my girlfriends for conversation and food. Some of these girls I've been friends with since the second grade. Some of these girls I haven't seen in years. But when we get together it's like no time has passed at all. A few hours of gabbing and we're caught up. There's always laughter and sometimes tears. There's always companionship and sometimes inspiration. And there is always unconditional love.We were told by many that our friendships wouldn't go beyond high school. Here it is nearly 20 years later and we still are very close. A lot can be said for these girls I call my friends. I wouldn't trade anything for what I've been blessed with. We've been there for each other in times of crisis, in times of sorrow, in times of joy. There seems to be a bond with us that cannot be broken.
I often wonder what I've done in this tiny life of mine to deserve such wonderful women as friends. It's overwhelming at times. Over time I've learned not to question what God has given me. Instead I've learned how to hold on to the precious gift of friendship.
Have you told your friends today you love them? You should. It will come back to you tenfold.
You beat me to the punch! I was going to blog something about girls night earlier this morning but then obits started coming in and I had to work instead...so I don't want you to think I copied you but I had time now after my obit deadline to blog so I gave my two cents about Saturday night. We're on the same page of course but you said your stuff better. Oh well. Maybe you're turning into the writer now. Yay for you! Nice post. Love ya!
