There once was a little band of girlfriends.  Ok, so there is still a little band of girlfriends.  LOL  They share with each other and they prayd with each other.  They play together and raise their children together.  They celebrate birthdays and new babies.  They share perimenopause and miscarriages and then menopause and the blessings of later life.  They meet one another in person when they can.  They share movies and music and food and just about anything else you can think of.  They live life together.  They blog together.  They read about each others lives daily.  They love each other.  They are bonded together.  They came together to mourn the loss of a beloved sister just over a year ago.  They would have never had this if it were not for the blogging world.  That is what Women at Home is to me.  They are my sisters.  They are safe and trustworthy.  I have met several of them in real life and many I will not meet until we step foot in heaven.  One of us is already there with Jesus and she is waiting patiently for the rest of us to join her.  We miss her but we have that hope of being together again.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MY W@H SISTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are other friends here online, too.  We have forged friendships here.  Our bond is most often Christ and being mommies and homeschoolers.  Some of them are fellow pastor's or ministry wives.  Some are mommies of four children like me.  One is my longest online friend and she has 8 children.  I so want to sit and sip tea with these ladies.  We live parallel lives and have children that are going through many of the same things.  We encourage each other.  We study the Bible together.  We read books together.  We chat together, and e-mail one another.  Some of us have exchanged snail mail addresses and our children have penpals with some of the other moms children.  We KNOW each other!!!  We trust each other!!!!!  We do that because God has given us a safe place to be with each other.  Don't ask me how but He brings us together when we need each other the most. 

One very special friend is a darling little (and I do mean LITTLE) mommy of four boys that moved here back in October.  If it were not for blogging we would, quite possibly, never have touched base.  We are now IRL friends and I LOVE HER!!!!! 

Yes, blogging has blessed my life in this very positive way!!!
