Ya’ know how every now and then you meet a friend who just blesses your life over and over and over?    Not only is she sweet and fun, she is willing to help when needed, loves your kids unconditionally, loves you in spite of yourself and seriously has your back {no matter what}.  

Women and friendships is an intriguing thing.  I have read as many books as I could find on the friendships of women.  I have led Bible studies about women and their friendships.  There is something so powerful about them, but I venture a guess that very few really grasp what the Lord had intended for women in their friendships!

And as the Lord would have it on my journey in life, I met a precious young woman named Megan.

Although I am old enough to be her mama, the Lord blessed my life abundantly by moving her and her family to Durango the last year we pastored there.  {They have since moved on to Texas.}  I told Megan:  “I really think the Lord moved you to Durango, cause He knew how much I needed your friendship.”  She was such a blessing in so many ways to the kids, our family and me personally.

And when Dw and the kids were packing up the house to move our stuff to Phoenix, it was Megan who worked tirelessly with them to pack it all up.  We can never thank her enough for her kindness toward us.

One bright spot in all of this moving stuff… is that Megan’s grandma lives in Phoenix and every now and then she comes to visit!

Well the other day Megan posted pictures of their new home in Texas and in the pictures was this wall art.

My eyes welled with tears when I read it.  I was going through something at that moment and when I read it, I knew that the Lord was speaking to me through it.   I wrote privately to her and told her how beautiful it was and the next thing I knew, she had sent me hers.    

And so now this beautiful wall art hangs in my kitchen/dining room.  Megan had made it.  {She made her kids bunk beds too – you should see them – this girl has unbelievable talent!}

Have you ever heard or read it before?  I had not.

Written by Mother Theresa?

Powerful.  

Made and given to me by my friend Megan?

 Priceless.
