My Lord,
I love that you have gifted me with sooooooooooooooo many sweet sisters by your blood. I love that Ruth was able to enjoy my sacred space and spend intimate time with you and I love that Anna and I were spend an awesome time in much needed fellowship yesterday. I love that Nichole has chosen me to be her future child's god mommy. I love that Thea wants to get together time and time again. I love that Dana thanked me for sitting next to her in church years ago. I love that Jackie 1 and Jackie 2 make my heart smile each time that I get to see them and spend time together. I love that Melanie prays over me at a moment's notice. I love that Claudette makes every effort to hug me on Sundays no matter how long the line is. I love that Linda Rae sends devotions and loves you so very much. I love that Melissa and I are sharing our single journey together and that we will have a double wedding. Lol
I love that Jackie, Lisa and Dawn are in Waldorf but our hearts are forever connected. I love that the Whitley's love me as if I were a member of their biological family. I love that my secret sister spoils me and knows my love language. I love that Lesley and Kathy have made my joy complete in North Beach. And speaking of North Beach, I love that Helen is my neighbor because you knew exactly what she needed and when.
I love that Aiesha loves you and my sweet son Alex, just as much as I do.
I love that Kara, Tonya, Tanya, Regenna, Fern, Alicia, Mary Kay, Rebbecca, Lori, Susie, Paulette, Nancy, Gina, Debbie, Julya, Dottie, Dotty, Inez, Dorothy, Carolyn, Sherry, Bella, Sabrina, Robin, Cindy, Carol, Erin, Stephie, Hope, Donna, Alice, Alice, Beverly, Sue, Debbie, Margaret, Jan, Karen, and so many other women in my life have opened up their hearts to me. We share a profound love for you that I cannot express but hold deep within my heart. I love you for gifting me with their unique presence and friendship.
I love my Thursday ladies and all that we have shared over the years: Mrs. Diana, Karen, Laurie, Donna, Melanie, Barb, Marlena, Darlene, Alice, Sharon, Gayle, Robie, Gayle, Bernice, Mary Lucy, Carolyn and Dawn.
I love my far away but so close to my heart sisters that I have met as I've traveled in your grace: Hope, Caroline, Carol, Kate and [Myriam] whom I've yet to meet but love like a sister.
I love my small group family; Darlene, Joan, Maureen, Leslie, Beth, Ruth and Marnie. I love that we get to switch houses and see the collectibles and joys that others have created inside their four walls.
I love that Alfi, Cassie and Christine and I only met once on a Friday night, but that one meeting sparked a forever friendship.
I love how you connected my heart to Lauren's in such a subtle but meaning way and over time how she has surrendered to you and is continuing to blossom day after day!
I love that I have Kim, Emmie, Ms G., Mary, Gloria, Stacye, Wanda, Denise, Teresa, Linda, Kim, and so many others in the workplace to add light to the stress and fatigue of our day to day duties.
Thank you for the Dobry family and their consistent love for me. I took Summer's birthday gift to their church yesterday and there they were, faithfully serving you. Their family is a pure and loving act of love for you. I just love how gently and giving they are with their time, resources and heart.
Thank you that I was home, safe and sound in bed by 9:30.
BUT of all the things that I mentioned here, I cannot thank you enough for the protection and favor that you have shown over the lives of my granddaughters. YOU are a stronghold, rock, deliverer, assurance, force and protector of their comings and goings and my daughter and I are forever grateful. WE love you and we TRUST in you!
Eternally yours
