I Love My Care Group

Today was another sad day. Our Care Group went to the memorial service for the husband of one of our ladies. He passed away about 3 days after Dad. He was only 54. Both services were celebratory, but it was so hard today, because he was so young and still has young children at home. We really don't know when it will be our time and we so need to be ready. Not only spiritually, but in our relationships as well. I am glad our family says "I love you" readily and I hope we all let our friends know as well how special they are to us. Our Care Group is a great group of women. There are 7 of us and we are within 15 years of each other in age, so we seem to "meld" really well. Pastor Bill was at the service and told us we were such a great group to be there for our sister and friend. Well, isn't that what Care Groups are for? We learn together, pray together, laugh together and cry together. I love these ladies and praise God for their friendship and love. Some were able to come to Dad's funeral and that really blessed me as well. If you don't have a small group of friends who are your spiritual sisters and good friends, I urge you to find such a group. If your church doesn't have them, start one up yourself. It is so important to have peers who you can be real with. God bless you ladies - Priscilla, Susan, Charlene, Nancy, Marlene and Jeannie.
