What role does friendship have in your single parenting? How can this one word, “friendship”, become one of the greatest gifts from God to you?
I have been very blessed with a lot of new friendships over
the last couple years and they have become vital in my journey in single parenting.
Each of my special friends has been an
answer to my prayers and God has used each of them differently in this
journey.
Friendship is such a vital role in your journey as a single
parent. As stated in previous blog
posts, it is extremely important to have a support system in which you can find
comfort and compassion. When I first
moved here to Colorado, I started a Mom’s Group with the intent of trying to
find special friends for my son to connect with. God surprised me and I ended up
finding friends too! I met a few women
whom I treasure to this day. These friendships
are good; very good.
You are worth it and you need it. Step out and find some great friends to love and support as they do likewise with you during your single parenting journey!
This is one thing that the churches I have been a part of, I really don't think many understand, I know I didn't.
ReplyDeleteChrist wants us to be a community family, but many of us live our lives as individuals, or individual families. Knowing what I know now, I would make sure that we included that single parent and child as part of our family, or the widow would join us for a meal after church.
We all need to be connected to each other, so that we can build each other up and encourage each other. Also it s than easier to help on another because we are part of a close community.
Keep making friends and reaching out to others. They will be blessed and so will you.
Diana,
DeleteI think it's great for you to include a single parent family into your home for a meal. What a blessing that would be! Thank you for reaching out!
