My close friend (since childhood) is dealing with divorce. After 15 years+ and three kids, it is a hard decision and I wish there were more I could do for her. This post has nothing to do with divorce specifically, when we should divorce, and casting blame. It has to do with showing others love when they need it most. With Valentine’s Day season coming up, and her birthday, I think this is the perfect time to show her extra love.

Do you have divorced friends that could use some extra love this season?

I visited my local Family Christian last week and bought a few small things that will show her that she is loved. And not just loved by me, but it is important that she remembers that she is loved by someone greater than me, God.

I think she is going to love it. I even went with a bit of a color theme. It’s fun to walk around the store and find many great gift ideas.

In addition to great gift ideas, I also wanted to share words of encouragement. These Bible verses are great to put on your friend’s Facebook page or in a nice handwritten card.
