    A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed~ Chaplain Denise

    I’m leaving on vacation tonight on a red eye flight to Boston.  For the first time in 20 years, my husband and I are going off together without our sons.  This is being made possible due to some very time generous friends.  You see, both of my parents are deceased and so is my sister.  My mother- in-law died four years ago and my father-in-law is almost 90.  In other words, I don’t have family I can call on to taxi my sons back and forth to school and soccer and wrestling etc. But I do have friends! And they are the world’s BEST friends.  Hopefully you know and have the kind of friends I’m talking about.  These people want to help. One girlfriend wasn’t needed to stay at my house because 2 others had already volunteered. Not wanting to be left out of helping, she and her husband are going to Back to School Night for me. That’s going above and beyond the call of friendship. They will be meeting my son’s teachers and taking copious notes I’ve been assured.

    They say blood is thicker than water, but we all know that’s not necessarily true right?  Family relations sometimes become dysfunction or fractured. For those of you who work full-time, your co-workers often become like family. We love each other, as witnessed yesterday at Carol Heapy’s celebration of tenure.

    Showing appreciation for those we love can be as simple as mowing their lawn when they’re on vacation so it looks good for their homecoming. I’m not dropping any hints you guys, I’m just giving an example.

    My prayer for all of you is that you would be blessed with friends who love deeply, in both word and deed. Also, that you are able to both receive that love, and return it.  

    Blessings until we meet again,

    Chaplain Denise
