Memory Verse: How blessed I am for my Sisters in Christ.

Good Morning, ABBA, Father,

As I sip my Cup Of Fancy (Peach Hot Tea), and get ready to spend my special time with you, I praise you for the blessings of family and girlfriends.

Ever since I was a child, friends would come and go.

In an all girls Catholic HS… I didn’t have a close group of friends until my Junior and Senior Years. 

College came and went. Farmer and I kept in touch with a few; however, careers and families took us elsewhere.

Once I married and moved to the farm, it took about 7 years, before we made really close friends at church.

Women especially need their Girlfriends. However….drama and trauma can change a relationship in an instant.

God gave me the heads-up, that it was A-OK to move-on in three different relationships…within my 52 years of marriage.

When you are in a friendship/relationship that becomes totally the opposite of who you are spiritually, morally, emotionally, and politically; RUN! I had to move on for my own mental health and well being.

My Dearest Friend, Gracie of 36 years, coined this phrase. God does not expect us to be friends with “PUFF FLUFFS”; those who are Vogue on the outside and Vague on the inside.

Life begins when you make choices.  Don’t be in such a big hurry to make friendships, until you test them.

*Choose Christian Women of substance.

I thought that I had a group as such; until COVID hit.

That circumstance removed the wheat from the chaff.

In 2021, three of us started our Bible study group; God expanded it to 8 members. WHAT A BLESSING!

We have a phone loop, prayer line going constantly, all day long.  I have never had such spiritual love and support.

God created his God Squad, a prayer group for all in need.

So my friends, pray for Godly friends, who will love you unconditionally.

Praise You, Father for the Christian Sisters to whom you have brought me. Thank You, ABBA, for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: In the Catholic Bible…there is a true gift for you. I am choosing to give you the entire section entitled:

TRUE FRIENDSHIP: BOOK OF SIRACH  CH 6:5-17

Pleasant speech multiplies friends, and gracious lips, friendly greetings. Let those who are friendly to you be many….BUT ONE IN A THOUSAND YOUR CONFIDANT! When you gain friends, gain them through testing., and do not be quick to trust them. For there are friends when it SUITS THEM, but they will not be around in time of trouble.

Another is a friend who has turned into an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your disgrace.

Others are friends, table companions, but they CANNOT BE FOUND IN TIME OF AFFLICTION.  When things go well, they are your other self, and lord it over your servants.

If disaster comes upon you, they turn against you and HIDE THEMSELVES.

Stay away from your enemies, and be on guard with your friends.

FAITHFUL FRIENDS..ARE A STURDY SHELTER…whoever finds one finds  …A TREASURE!

Faithful Friends are beyond price, no amount can balance their worth.

Faithful friends, are life-saving medicine;those who fear God will find them.

Those who fear the Lord, enjoy stable friendship, for as they are, so will their neighbors be.

Come to me, seek, pray, and I will send you True Friends.

I love you,

Your,

ABBA, Father
