How well do your friends know you?

How would you answer that question? When I think of my friends...I wonder what they would say about me when asked?
  • Do you know what you would say about your friends?
  • How have they touched you, impacted you, challenged you?

I have been blessed with so many Godly friends in my life. In a recent conversation I had with someone, I shared what "true friendship" meant to me. It's knowing that no matter what - they've got your back. They share the good times and the bad, the happy and the sad. They will laugh with you until you cry and they will cry with you just because they care that much. They know your favorite place to eat. Favorite color. Favorite vacation spot. Favorite place to shop. Who was the first boy you kissed. They share your parenting highs and those horrible lows - always offering words of encouragement. Like I said, I have been blessed with so many wonderful friends but one in particular knows me sooooo well. I LOVE to be in my kitchen baking and bringing meals away, and teaching my kids the joy of cooking. Look what she gave me!!! This AWESOME home-made apron (love it), and the Pioneer Woman Cookbook and a fancy-smancy dish scrubber. Love it all...but mostly love how well my friend knows me. I.Am.Blessed!
