The Blessing of Friendship

I'm having one of those moments...you know, one of those moments where all is right in the world...life is good. My husband, Chris and our fourteen year old (Ellen) are on a scavenger hunt with the student ministry at Christ Point Church. I'm relaxing at the computer and all I hear in the background is the sound of laughter. I hear Luka (my 6 yr. old) playing with her nearest and dearest friend, Kaleigh. They're playing pretend in Luka's room and I can hear them just getting the biggest kick out of each other! In the other direction, I hear DiMarco and Paige (another near and dear friend!) just laughing away while they play Xbox. What could be better than lifelong friends who know you like a sibling? Things aren't always this serene at our house. In fact, many are the moments when I could just pull my hair out! Right now though, I'm just enjoying the moment. I'm enjoying hearing my kids and their friends treat each other with such kindness. Today, I'm thankful for the blessing of friendship in the lives of my kids. We are so thankful for the Morris girls...so thankful indeed.
