My best friend of 23 years and I are extremely
different. My friend loves small town
living. Next to Kansas City, New York
City is my favorite place to be. My friend homeschools their kids. I am extremely grateful for public
school. She eats healthy. I love donuts and cupcakes. Our political votes cancel each other out and
she is as laid back as I am wired.
My friend and her husband have eight children. We have three. Their kids range in age from 10 months to 25
years. Our girls are 12, 13 and 14. They are a mix of African-American and
Caucasian. Our daughters are from
Russia. Though the differences are
many, and most would consider some of them significant, we are held together by
a shared love for Jesus.
Though we are by no means perfect, our hearts seek after
God. We seek daily to pass on our faith to our children. We love to enjoy God’s gifts of nature, fun,
and family. Church and worship are
important parts of our lives. We pray for each other and each other’s
families. We help each other discern
God’s will. And we do both love
chocolate.
Differences have the power to divide, but God’s love can
overcome it all! Open your heart to
God’s gifts and you will be blessed! Now
that is something we can all agree on!
