Friends in Christ

I have an amazing group of friends that I met when chat rooms were new.  Many of us "gathered" in the chat room named Moms of Four or More.

We'd chit chat about kids and family, what was for supper and who happened to be sick or in need of prayers.

One day Rhonda decided to make it a little easier for us to communicate with each other and she invited us to start an email group.

If I have the count correct, we started with 12 moms and added one at a later date.  We are now down to 8 full time emailers and one who pops in on occasion to let us know she's ok and that she's praying for us.

We are from Oregon, California, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Massachusetts.
We are moms with kids at home and moms with empty nests. We are grandmas and great-grandmas.  We are The Moms.

Most of us have met face to face.  I've been to Illinois, Pennsylvania and Oregon to Moms Reunions.

We've been the subject of a magazine article. :-)

Most of all, we're friends.  We help each other through the ups and downs of life. We rejoice over graduations, weddings, births and good surgical outcomes.

We lift each other in prayer and {{{{ hugs}}}} through deaths, physical pain, hard times with income and all the rest of what gets us down.

We are Mary, Barb, Sunnie, Kathy, Rhonda, Carolyn, Brenda, Linda and Sooz (coast to coast).

God brought us together as friends and sisters in Christ and I couldn't be more grateful.
