Today I had a lot of choices I could choose from, but after sitting in Carolina Wings for 2 & 1/2 hours with my mom and some friends from high school, I realized how blessed I really am. Truth be told, I have some of the best friends any girl could ask for.
While listening to my moms prayer at the table, I realized how much of an impact these people have had on not just my life, but on the life of my mom. My mom taught all of these friends but one, and she's been my best friend for a few years.
"I thank you for the laughter, and the joy that every single one of them has brought into my life," my mom said...and then it hit me...not only has God placed these friends in my life to be there for me, but to be there for my mom as well.
James, Brittany, Cory, Shanice, and even Dina and Marquez who weren't there, have all made a lasting impact on not just myself but my mom and dad as well. In fact, it was my mom who requested to have dinner with this group of her former students. I've known James, Brittany, and Cory the longest but every one of these friends have been there for me for years.
The fact that every single one of them cares about me and my mom just as much means so much more to me than anyone could ever imagine. My mom has become my best friend these last few years, and the fact that I have friends who care just as much about my mom as anyone else is the best thing I could ever ask for.
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends." John 15:12-13
And quite frankly, I would lay down my life for every single one of them.
Be blessed,
LG.
