Girlfriends

Today I had the priviledge of going to Graham with some girlfriends. Actually one of the ladies has a 2nd home in Bryson and she invited our Prayers and Squares members to her house just for R & R and some shopping in Graham. If you couldn't come and spend the night you were welcome to come up for the day and that is what a group of us did today. We left Weatherford about 7:30am and headed to Bryson, we sat out on her big front porch and visited until our breakfast buffet was ready and then we ate and visited in the house. The food was wonderful and the fellowship even better. Everytime I am with these ladies I love them more and more. There is a reason for that, it is found in Phillipians 2:1-5... It says, If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Women can be catty, contentious, jealous and overall sometimes not the nicest people to be around, unless that is they are like minded in Christ. When you are controlled by the Holy Spirit, someone else's feelings and interests become more important than your own, in a group you put others first because that is what Christ would do. I could never make you grasp what these ladies through the love of the Lord have done for me. Because they love the Lord, they love me also, they care about me and not only me we all care for one another and that is what makes our fellowship so very precious and sweet.

Thanks to Carolyn for opening her home, for those that labored over our meal, for the ones that drove their vehicles, for the ones that brought us homemade jelly and loofahs (Joyce and Joyce), I so appreciate your kindness and love for me and all the ladies that gathered under your roof today.
