Friendship Friday

International Women's Day is celebrated each year on March 8. This year's theme is #BalanceforBetter.  "The 2019 initiative is aimed at gender equality, greater awareness of discrimination and a celebration of women's achievements."

This initiative is so ambitious!  How do ordinary women work to advance this agenda for other women? Do we take opportunities to encourage women to achieve their educational goals? Do we offer emotional and spiritual support for our friends? Do we take opportunities to provide financial support or budget advice to women? Are there ways we can foster greater awareness of discrimination?

 In ordinary and extra-ordinary ways, we can begin the work to first become aware of our global community.  I want to celebrate one woman.. one friend who is making a difference in her service with Cure International.  My friend, Maureen. You may recognize her from previous posts on Friendship Friday. In recognition of her work,  she inspires me.

Currently, she is serving as a nurse volunteer with  Cure International. Please click on the  word Cure to learn more about Cure International. CURE Our Mission Healing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom of God.

Do you have  have friends who encourage you, inspire you, and keep you accountable?
What a blessing to have a friend that speaks the truth in love. It is my prayer you have that kind of friend.
