Chronicles of Schofield

“It is a sociological fact that women need women.

We need deep and satisfying and loyal

friendships with each other.”

-Marjorie Hinckley

***********************

Women need women-

when times are hard,

when something bad happens

or when sadness surrounds our lives.

Sometimes we just want to be left alone.

But our sisters,

blood or not,

know when to step in.

Sometimes it's a meal,

sometimes it's cleaning the house,

sometimes it's a card, or flowers,

sometimes it's just knowing they are there

for you to call when you're ready.

It is part of our godly makeup

to nurture and love,

to reach out and feel the aches

of others like they were our own aches,

and then to know what to do

to ease those burdens and pains.

************

Today I am thinking of the women in my life

who have lifted me up,

and those who need lifting.

The women who have extended friendships to me

and who have made my days brighter.

I am praying for my sisters that need

a little something extra right now.

I am praying for my sisters

who need comfort and peace.
