For years our son C has not really had any close friends his own age. He has very close friends who are both older and younger than him, and a neighbor boy his age that he plays with but with whom he is not 'close'. My husband and I have prayed for a long time that God would provide a friend or two his age. What a blessing to see that prayer answered!
This was C's year for a friend birthday party, and since he has just finished his first season ever of playing soccer, he has a slew of new soccer friends! We invited some of them to the party, as well as a new friend from his Sunday school class at church, the neighbor kids, our sweet family friend H who has been to all our parties I think(!), and his own siblings.
It was a beautiful day and we played all kinds of water games. We played tag in the yard sprinklers, had a water balloon toss, played whirlpool in our big pool as it was filling up, and played water balloon "hot potato" (pictured below).
It was such a joy to see how much fun C was having. With his very. own. friends.
Thank you Lord, for the blessing of friendship. For sun, for water, for fun games, for the ability to enjoy it all. You are so good.
