My B, Be, Benita!

I love the month of May, for me it marks the beginning of spring/summer in the UK, it’s the month of my birthday and also the birthday of one of my dearest (probably my most favourite person in the world right now)  friend Benita. God has taught me so much about love through my friendship with Benita. We can have disagreements or arguments and it’s almost instantly resolved, sometimes she can do things that can be perceived as very annoying but for some strange reason it doesn't irritate me at all. I believe these things don’t get to me because of the love I have for her which is also an encouragement that I can (and should) have this experience with others.

I was reading Proverbs 18:24 a while ago and Benita came to mind; “A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Our friendship has grown from strength to strength over the years. I remember in the early days we were singing partners and we did a few duets together, she helped me build my confidence in singing and taught me how to sing alto. She was also there for me when I was beginning a new chapter in my life, giving me womanly advice and being there to listen.  She has helped me face many storms and has been so happy when I have come out on the other side; I am so excited because I know she will play a huge role in my life in the distant future. I am so thankful to God because it’s a wonderful thing to know that you have a friend who genuinely wants to see you happy and that takes pleasure in your Joy. It is also a blessing to have a friend who you connect with on a spiritual level, Benita and I always support each other’s bible study sessions and often encourage each other’s spiritual growth and character development.

So today my heart is filled with joy because God has given her another year and has blessed her abundantly with many precious gifts especially the knowledge of his Son; God has blessed us with a daughter, a wife, a sister and a true friend. 

Happy Birthday Benita xxx

Thank you so much Lord for blessing me with such a beautiful (inside and out) and caring friend, I pray that you will continue to nurture and strengthen this friendship. Let it blossom Lord.

With overflowing love love LOVE!
