I was reading some this morning out of my "Joy for a Woman's Soul" devotional book. I ran across one written by Peggy Benson. In it she talks about how Johnny Jump Ups are some of her favorite spring flowers. She says they resemble smiling faces, each with their own personality. She goes on to talk about her "jump-up" friends in her life. Her "jump-up" friends came into her life at the exact time she needed a friendly, smiling face.
This past week our calendar was full of playdates with new friends. My biggest fear about moving was making new friends. Well, I thank God every day for sending me my Johnny Jump-ups! I have met so many wonderful women since we've moved here. They are encouraging, Godly women. I know I can go to any of them for anything.
I also think of my friends back in Ky. The ones I miss so much. I think back to the times we met and how God orchestrated everything! I'm so thakful for friends old and new! They each mean so much to me!
