Wendy…Always there For Me!

Today I woke up knowing I had yet more appointments and tests scheduled for today. I have to admit just how hard it is trying to deal with trials alone. I have been so lucky to have a friend who has consistently checked on me, through a text, a phone call, or just a simple word of encouragement, means more than she will ever know.

Sometimes in life, (I know I have been there), we get too busy to take a quick second to check on someone who is struggling either physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Sometimes we don't know what to say or what we can do. But, I have learned first hand, you don't have to know what to do nor do you need to know exactly what to say. All you need is a willing heart and a listening ear. Sometimes just a quick visit to someone who is struggling can make all the difference in the world by letting them know just how much you care and are concerned about them.

Today I had a friend stop by with an all-fruit smoothie for me today. She took the day off of work and still took the time to stop by and just visit with me today. It reminded me of how the Savior left the 90 and 9 and went to the one. Although he was extremely busy and needed to minister to the masses the Savior made it a point to visit the sick, the lonely, and those suffering and who really needed him. This friend truly exemplifies the Savior in every way. She seems to always listen and follow through to the promptings of when I need her most. Her call, text, or visit always seems to come at the time I really need a lift. She truly is a very special friend who has always been there for me through thick and thin.

We met about 15 years ago when our our boys played little league baseball together. We have been family friends ever since then and we have loved their family dearly!  We have throughly enjoyed spending time together with their family over the years.

A few years ago we served together in Young Women's which brought us even closer. We have raised our teens together and have found strength in one another as we vent, cry, and help one another make it through difficult times!

I treasure our friendship so much and want her to know just how much I love her and appreciate all that she does for me!

Thanks so much Wendy you are truly better than the best!
