Do you agree with this statement? Normal everyday challenges are so much easier to handle when we know we are loved and supported. I know that is true in my life. I have gone through a period in my life when the supportive friendships of 5 awesome ladies, known as my breakfast bunch, have been so valuable in my life. Because of them, I know and value the feeling of love and support in friendships. Normal everyday challenges are easier to face when we have a great support system around us. In the past, I have had friendships with others who have gone on to heaven, or have moved away, and had to do some adjusting. Because these were all amazing friends, they left a huge hole in my life. What I learned from that experience was definitely to cherish the time we have with people. Thankfully, it is much easier to connect with others far away now with facebook, email and cell phones, but still friendships become more challenging with distance. Family relationships are more challenging with distance. Kids grow up and move across the county….I know that is what my husband and I did, not only across the country, we moved out of the country. You won’t have your parents forever. If they are believers, they’ll be moving on to heaven eventually. Friendships change, and people leave your area. That is a fact of life. But the everyday challenges we face are made easier when we keep loving relationships active and dynamic in our life. Support and love are two things I don’t want to do without. What an amazing plan God has for us. So as we close out our love project, think about the people in your life. Do they feel loved and supported by you? Why not tell them how valuable and precious they are to you, today!
