Friendships

Hello dear sisters and saints
Babygirl has not being feeling well so she has had me on and off awake all night. I am not very good at that so this last time I decided to stay a wake for a bit for my own sake and hers.

I have been laying here contemplating friendships. I got to thinking of my beloved husband. He truly is an incredible man, incredible person. He has this friend- work buddy that adores him. Yes this man is older than he is but he often text me asking me, "how is he really Angie"- I want to know the truth. He worries about his physical well being. 

On Father's Day this same gentleman contacted me and said " I wanted to give Sam a gun but I know he won't just accept it, so here is the deal, you gather a dollar $1.00 - from every child in your home and I will sell you this gun for $7.00. The kids then can give him this gun for Father's Day." I agreed of course. I got the gun and since I know nothing about them had no idea the true value of this gun. When Sam opened it on Father's Day I even thought wow that is a nice looking gun. 


I envy their friendship. I have traveled through life seeking a friendship with someone as they have for one another. Oh as you know it is so much more than the gift of the gun. The heart that this man has for Sam so willing to give up something of great value to the world so he can have it. At the same time caring for him as a man and being sure he did not step on that man ego! (Which is where the "buying" it came in )

How come Lord I don't have that?
What is about me that keeps women from loving me? From caring for me and wanting to walk through life with me? 

Friendship - what does that look like and mean?

John15
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Friendship to me is someone you are safe with. No matter what you say or how you say it they know your heart and love you through it all. I try to love with all that I am.

Proverbs 17:17 

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
Friendship to me is realistic- we aren't always going to agree on everything or see eye to eye, but through that friendship and love words can be exchanged without offense and we can love through our differences.



Solo para la Gloria de Dios

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
