About a year and a half ago I wrote about friendships and how making really close friends takes time and commitment and cultivation. I went through a period of time when we just didn't have any close friends.
God has so blessed us with some special friends. Big Red and C moved to our town from the great state of Minnisotaur via Seattle. They went to work for the same company where Honey workeds and as he does, Honey invited them to church.
These friends also have boys, two very darling red headed boys. They are close in age to our boys. The five boys are 3 (just turned), 3 (almost 4), 5, 7 and 7. The boys play so nicely together. The parents love to play dominoes, watch football, cook, visit, and just be together.
Today, we all attended church together, went to eat lunch and now have spent the afternoon together watching the Cowboys beat Detroit, making and decorating cookies, playing dominoes. , watching Christmas Vacation, and eating pizza. Right now, Hopalong and Baby Red are running in circles, hopping, dancing . They are hipped up on cookies, pizza, and Sprite. They are each other's best friend.
It is so awsome to just live life together, love each other's kids, clean up together, cook together, and love each other. Thank you Father for the Big Red family. Thank you for Christian friends. Thank you Father for kind friends for my children.
I happen to know that you've never been without a close friend.

What an amazing blessing when your friend has kids who are friends with your kids! That's icing on life's cake...
