Dinner Lift

Today we had 4 great friends over for dinner. It's great sitting and watching how much things have changed. God has given us some amazing friends! Friends that I don't think my husband and I ever thought we would have. There were the guys goofing off, talking about silly things, and us girls being practical. I was sitting there hearing the talking and laughing thinking about how much our conversations have changed over the past year or so. We went from weddings now to babies. Our lives are changing and our friendships are evolving. I pray that throughout this year, our friendships grow. I love these people!!! They bring out so many good things in us. I love how John and Daniel have lifted my husband up. They are starting to help him understand what God has called him to be. I love listening to the 3 of them and their other guy friends get together and discuss The Word. I see these guys that are truly seeking out the heart of God. The girls are so different we are quiet, yet we sit and will talk about everything and anything. I have prayed for and been prayed for by these girls. We are there for each other. We have all truly become a family. I wish that everyone in the world could experience this. Friendships, Godly friendships are so important. I hope that we keep having these random dinners. I came home stressed and tired. Now I feel refreshed and just plain happy. Good friends lift you up, even when they don't realize that they are doing any lifting.
