I find it so uplifting to read and connect with other women who share a desire to live their lives as a Christian. It helps to motivate me, lift me up and encourages me to strive to do the best I can everyday and helps me keep my faith first and foremost in my life. I know many others feel the same way and I hope that by featuring Christian women blogs that it will provide an opportunity for women to connect, share and inspire one another.

If you want to make an impact on someones day then offer them a smile. You may be the first person that has smiled at them all day! Smiling is an act of kindness that is very much appreciated.

A smile speaks volumes. It tells your children you are happy to see them, it welcomes your spouse home from work and it lets everyone know that everything is alright. Life is good.

Even when you don’t feel like it make an effort to smile at others. It will make you feel better and may change your attitude for the rest of the day.

The bible tells us to “Be joyful always.” Godly joy brings happiness, satisfaction and purpose to our lives. It’s a blessing to give and receive a smile.

A smile is welcoming and sends a message of happiness, friendship, amusement and beauty. Everybody understands a smile and responds to it.

A smile is a beautiful thing so share it everyday!

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” ~Mother Teresa.

Let’s face it when you work 8 to 5 everyday of the week and you have a husband and kids to care for and feed along with chauffeuring them to after school or summer activities it is hard to squeeze in time for friends.

Friends are an important part of our mental stability. I find that my friendships are comforting, healing, open and fun. So why don’t I make more time to nurture them? Why do they get pushed to the back burner? After all friendships between women are special and soothing and I need that! Don’t you?

According to Helen Keller, “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” Amen. This is so true and it’s why cultivating friendships is so important.

Even when friends move away it is important to stay in touch by email, phone or facebook. They are a connection to you and your past and provide a sense of consistency in life.

It is also important to nurture friendships with other christian women. This bond enhances our spiritual side and builds on our faith. Sharing our faith, fears and doubts with friends helps us strengthen our relationship with God.

Not only do we need to cherish our friends but we need to remember to be a good friend. Pay attention to the needs of your friends. Ask questions and show interest in their lives. Share in their lives and share your life with them.

Women need women for heart to heart talks, emotional support, strength and encouragement. Friends always know just what you mean.  Appreciate friendship and always remember to keep your friends close.

John 15:13 (New International Version)
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
