You know how there are people in your life that you just really enjoy being with on a spiritual level? People whom you not only look up to and admire, but with whom you can talk freely about spiritual matters (and how they relate to politics, health, nutrition, schooling, etc)? I had a day like that today and it was such a joy. One woman and her family do TONS of service projects throughout the community. She is, what I'm finding, the epitome of "all action, no talk", and I'm inspired by her. I've never met someone so busy about the Lord's work that she doesn't have time to sit around and discourse about it. She is not absorbed at all with her own family and only her own family, but they all work alongside one another...and her children are wonderful. I want my family to be like hers when it comes to this, and I want to be like her when it comes to this.                         

So then I got together with this little group of ladies that are a constant source of encouragement to me. They are mature believers who encourage me in submission, godly parenting, keeping high and right standards with education, and who desire to please the Lord with all they are and do. Just being with them reminds me of things that are right and good. We don't all see each other often, but it's always great when we are all together. 

I'm just thankful for like-minded women to be with, aren't you?
