Friendship

May 17, 2006
This morning, our phone rang with a teary phone call from a dear friend. He and his wife just received discouraging news today regarding their infertility treatments, and needed to talk, to pray, to cry. It was a blessing to know that I am married to a man that a guy can feel comfortable calling to cry and pray with him.

Our hearts ache for this dear couple. We're thankful for the empathy our similar experiences have brought us, but oh, how we wish our friends didn't have to go through this too. We long for God to bless them with children, just as much as we desire children in our family. We cling to hope.

I believe it is no accident that our life journeys merged years ago. They have faithfully stood with us during our times of heartache and loss, and celebrated each milestone wholeheartedly. We don't know whether this is a hurdle or a door for them, and we wait alongside them to see what God will do. Please keep this couple in your prayers today.
