A Mom’s Prayer for Loyal Friends

Meg Bucher

Motherhood friendships often begin in the throes of pregnancy as we bond over the preparation to welcome a new life into the world. The toddler years produce library story times and playdates, visits with grandparents and family, and the excitement of discovering a new personality as they wobble and find their way to their first steps. Yet, nothing steels our hearts as those first friends who share in the original seasons of motherhood with us. Pre-school days further connect us to our communities. We watch them connect and grow alongside classmates as we connect with families at the kids’ pickup line on Sundays after service and daily waiting in the hallway for them to bound out of their classrooms.  Let's pray.
