You wouldn't know it from looking at them, but these gals are some of my spiritual rocks in life! :) I love that we can share anything going on in our lives and that I always feel better after having been in their presence. You know you've found a great friend when just being with him or her makes you feel closer to God!
(This picture was, as you can see, taken at our after church New Year's Eve "bash." 'Twas fun.:) )
I have other friends who encourage me, of course, but there are few who rebuke me and love me in the same breath as much as these ladies do. I marveled anew last night after spending a few hours with them--how blessed we are to have friends who show us Christ and love our souls.
What friends are you thankful for? Do you have friends who literally help you grow spiritually? If you don't--you should get some new friends! :) Seriously...godly friends are a blessing and almost a necessity of life! :) Thank you, Elizabeth, Laura, and Paula, for being true friends at all times.
Thanks so much for sharing! True friends that can help you grow spiritually is such a blessing! I fully agree with you about having friends that can help you grow spiritually!! I have other friends that encourage me in God, but there's something different about my core group of true friends that bless my life by just being themselves and obedient to God. I truly feel as though just being in their presence brings me closer to Him. The friendship just flows effortlessly and true friends like that (where there's no judgement, or jealously and they can always be honest/encourage you) are true gifts! Enjoy and thanks again!
