Sister Friends, Not Girlfriends

Yesterday my mother and I hosted a mini-women's retreat for the women of our generation (20's and 30's) and what a blessing it was! I wanted us to walk away with some connection to what we are going through as we are in transition (newly married, new mothers, going to school, entering/changing careers, buying a home, etc.). This is clearly the time in our lives where we are moving into a new direction and with that our friends can be an important part in that transition.

We lean to our friends for many things, however there are times that that friendship and relationship will change. Either you move away, grow apart, or just get so busy as you are "transitioning" that you just lose track of each other. Whatever reason it is, God blesses us with our friends, and what we called yesterday our "sister friends", as an extension of our family. However, we all know that people come into our lives for a lifetime and others for a season. But whichever way it is, we should be thankful for what God has given us in our sister friends. What a blessing it is to have women who you can turn to for anything with absolutely no judgement.

Take the time on this blessed first Sunday to tell one of your Sister Friends that you love them and you are thankful for you they are in your life. Thank you to the small few of us that could get together for the luncheon. TRUST ME, it won't be the last one!!!
