Special People

I just have to tell you about a group of wonderful women that I have met here on line. My Sisterfriends, what can I even begin to say about them? They amaze me on a daily basis. From being a member of the forum, I have had the wonderful opportunity to talk to and get to know some very special ladies. I have never seen the love of God and Christians acting as Jesus would, as I have with these people.

It doesn’t matter what the issue is, someone will write about a problem they are facing and 12 people will chime in to let them know they are being prayed for. And I truly believe those prayers are heart felt and said many times over. And someone will offer some advice and someone else will chime in with more support. And that snowballs until that person with the problem is surrounded by love and prayers.

 

Or one person may have 20 different tragedies going on, and yet, they stop to ask how someone else is doing. Their life is in upheaval and mourning and yet they reach out to someone else that is hurting. This is not just a one time occurrence. I have seen it happen a thousand times. These ladies are truly concerned for their fellow person. They show an amazing amount of love for each other. And the love I am referring to is Agape Love. God’s love, the love of a friend, the love for human kind. These women are a fine example of how a Christian should be. I am honored to be a part of them.

And then I have met some wonderful people on line from other blogs, they accidentally stumbled in here, or by divine grace they were led into my life. And I care about these people and I know they care about me. If I were to tell them that I was hurting, they would be there in a second to offer prayers and support. These people are my friends. And the funny thing is, I don’t even know what they look like or their real names. Of course I do know some real names, but the majority are the names used on the internet. I don’t even know what they look like in real life or what their voices sound like. But they are friends just the same.

I have come to know and then to respect them and then to care about them and then to love them. (again I am referring to Agape Love). And no, they are no all gay and no they are not all Christian. But they are wonderful people who have touched my life and my heart. I would love the chance to meet all of these people and to be able to tell them face to face what a difference they have made in my life.

My minister asked us to write down the names of people we would like to pray for a few Sundays ago and my list read like a story book cast. There were a few names but most were avatars and pseudo name used on the internet. There were initials and first names and even just pictures that represented the people I was praying for. But I trust that God knew who I meant.

I just want to say to all of my internet friends, Thank you. Thank you for being a huge part of my life and thank you for caring and allowing me to care for you. You know who you are.
