The Gift of Friendship



Time and again I realize how blessed I am  with friends ...


Not because of the gifts received . . . but because of the things we share and learn from each other.


The small gifts we take home in our bags . . . but the large gifts are stored in our hearts. They are gifts such as encouragement, understanding, prayer and unconditional love.


Good friends truly are one of life's greatest gifts.
I'm thankful for times with just the girls
as well as times, such as yesterday, with like minded couples.
If laughter is good for the heart . . .
our hearts got a good workout!
Thank you . . . you know who you are!

Friends...those with whom we share the best of times and those that are most difficult. Friendship...the best gift of all!

You are a gift to me too! I'm so thankful that God has allowed our lives to reconnect after many years. I've been the richer!
