A friend of a friend, Holly Smith, is the editor of A Woman Inspired. She contacted me before my trip and asked if I could write a piece for her readers and offer some suggestions on how to help encourage and minister to military wives. I was thrilled she asked! The friendship issue is one of the main issues that can come up for military wives, particularly during deployment and particularly for National Guard and Reserve wives who become suddenly military.
It’s not that our civilian counterparts don’t care or don’t want to help; many times, they just don’t understand what they can do or how they can help and so instead of making a mistake, they don’t do anything.
Have a civilian friend you wish could read your mind? Let them read this article.
