Thanks For Being My Kitchen Friend

Yesterday my husband and I tried out a new church in Sioux Falls. At this church the pastor touched on the subject of “Kitchen Friends” and how every person on the face of the earth needs a few good kitchen friends.

He said that kitchen friends were people who knew the deepest, darkest secrets of your soul and loved you anyways. Kitchen friends were people who lifted you up when you were down, gave you praise when you deserved it, offered a lending hand when it was needed, told you what you needed to hear even if you didn’t want to hear it, and most of all stuck by you no matter what.

He said that kitchen friends really show the heart of God because they never give up on you. When other people turn their backs and walk away or when other people become too busy to care, your kitchen friends are the ones who stick around. They laugh with you, they cry with you, they work with you, and they play with you. They give you a shoulder to cry on, they give encouragement during both the good and the bad times, and they offer hope when you don’t feel there’s any left in the world.

When the pastor said this, my husband turned to me and jokingly said, “Where’s our kitchen friends?”

We’ve had many friends over the years—some good and some bad. But since moving to South Dakota, we still haven’t met anyone we could call, “Kitchen Friends”.

This morning, on the 18th anniversary of our marriage, it dawned on me that WE ARE EACH OTHER’S KITCHEN FRIENDS!

So today, as we remember the day we first said our vows, I want to take this time to publicly thank my husband for being more than just the father of my children and the bread winner of the family. I want to thank him for being my lover, my confidant, and my “kitchen” friend.

Happy Anniversary Baby!
