One Little Like

We all see those pictures on Facebook—the crazy, funny, heart-wrenching, inspiring, or just plain cute ones with a “See how many likes this picture can get!” caption.  That’s a fun little game, but sometimes it just takes one. One little like.

A couple of weeks ago, I liked an article posted on Facebook about infertility because before Abbey, I had taken 36 negative pregnancy tests.  One of my friends saw that like and read the article.  She was touched and thanked me.  Another friend saw that and joined in on our conversation, and another friend saw that and joined in.  We had a nice little infertility party and I thought it was so neat what one little like could do.

Then last week someone liked my blog post on Facebook.  That one little like answered the prayer of a sweet lady halfway across the country who was looking for a friend and found me--a friend with bipolar who shares her values and is a young mother like herself.  She introduced me to another lady like us who blogs here, and now the three of us with answered prayers know that we are not alone in our circumstances.  That is what one little like can do.

I don’t know about you, but I’m about to do a whole lot more liking.
