What kind of blogger are you REALLY. I know that there are all kinds of categories when it comes to blogging, such as food blogs, family blogs, history, music, art, sports, sewing, crafting, photo, and just about any kind of topic blogs one could think of.
The kind of blogger that I am referring to, is a faithful friend blogger!
I truly have many blogging friends, whom I consider to be some of my Besties... I enjoy their friendship and I am interested in the things that are of concern to them.
During the past 3 years, I have met many (down to earth) friends who have shared some of their life stories with me...I, in return have shared things from my heart, with them.
We know about each others accomplishments and about each others sorrows. We give encouragement to one another and we are dedicated to pray for each others families.
If my blogging friends come up missing in my side bar, because they have not had time to post, or because life is busy being LIFE and has taken them in a different directions for a few days, then you can bet that I am going to check on them...
I'm going to send them an email....just to say....
I don't know where you are, but I'm thinking of you today....
How many of us have blogging acquaintances, who we communicate with....ONLY and I say ONLY IF THEY LEAVE A COMMENT ON OUR BLOG FIRST?
I want to say to my blogging friends, that I appreciate you all so very much! I care about you and if for some reason, I am not able to leave comments on your page...it's not because I don't care...it's just that some times, life is life for me as well...and I often over crowd my days by being a caregiver to so many people.
Anyways, I can assure you....that I care about each of you and I thank you for your friendship.
My goal is to always be a Faithful Friend blogger.

I consider many of my blogging friends to be as close as the friends I can sit down with and have a cup of coffee. Bloggers become a sort of family and I would miss each one if they were not there.
ReplyDeleteI smiled as I read this post... I often check on you, if I don't see a post. I just slip in to see what's up and I have many, that I do the same for(often I don't even have time for a comment) but I do have time to pray for them as I visit. Tonight...I'm up much too late making my rounds :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Hi Shug!
ReplyDeleteI could not have said it better! I love blogging, and like you, I have made some really good friends, who I love . . . you happen to be one of them!
I started blogging as my journal . . . just someplace to keep my photos, just in case something happened... ;0) I ended up loving the friendships that I made and treasured in blogland! I personally love the fact that I could go to my computer, at any given moment, and talk to anyone across the country, or across the world for that matter! But, the best part is that they would understand me, know me, pray for me, and listen . . . with their fingers and their heart!
Blogging for me is more of a social thing - I love it! I may take lots of breaks, but I am always here, even if I don't leave a comment, I usually check in . . . even on those really busy weeks!
Please know how much I treasure your friendship, Shug!
Lots of Big Hugs,
Barb
So true! If I had more time I would love to read more and comment on more blogs. Some great people have blogs!
ReplyDeleteI have met many new blogging friends this past year. I enjoy them all, and try to get around to all of their blogs...when life doesn't give me other things to do that day!
ReplyDeleteOh, I so feel the same way. I feel a closeness that is hard to describe with so many of my blogging buddies and I do have concerns when they drop off for a while.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
I love blogging...just wish I had more time for it as it is time-consuming, but RL (real life) comes first. I do treasure the friends that I've made and while I may not get around to commenting on everyone's blog as often as I'd like, I do read pretty often and I keep a prayer list to pray for those friends that have a need. They are in my thoughts often just like a RL friend!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about some who comment on your blog only if you comment first on theirs! That's a bit frustrating and there are some who, if you take a little break, quickly forget all about you. I suppose they weren't that good a friend, were they? ;) I'm going to be taking another one of those blog breaks soon when we go on vacation. Take care and have a nice evening!
Very well said! I am blessed to have so many dear, dear blogging friends that I consider part of my extended family. And you are one of those people, Shug! Thank you for your prayers and concern for me and my family. You are an angel on earth!
