| Welcome to Day 30 of the series Speak Praise as part of the Write 31 Days challenge. |
When I began blogging just a few shorts
years ago, it was an outlet for me. I hear this a lot from other bloggers
as well, and writers who have become published authors. I blogged about my
new baby, mommy life, and lack of sleep. But there is one entry I
wrote about five years ago when my daughter was only a few months
old, and it always stuck with me, stood in my mind like a stone of remembrance when I felt God's nudge to reach out.
Motherhood was a difficult adjustment
for me after being in the workforce for several years and then
shifting to being home all day with a brand new baby. I wondered if I
might be available to reach others in some way just to take my
attention off of my loneliness and maybe receive the blessing of
friendship in return.
At the time, our neighbor, the woman next door, was a teacher like me. She had been put on disability and was home much of the time. I felt prompted to visit her at home and befriend her. That time became a blessing to both of us having fellowship with one another.
