Friends

Greg and I just returned from 4 days is Ft. Lauderdale. It was nice to get away for a bit and enjoy palm trees, eating out, laying on the beach and seeing different sights. We also talked alot about our 25th wedding anniversary coming up April 14, 2009(WOW) and plans to maybe celebrate in Florida. We'll see about that - we want to do something special!! We have so many great friends and we would love to include them in the celebration.

As I think about our friends, I am so glad to be back home. (I like Florida alot and my brother owns a condo on the beach so it's available to us whenever we want.) BUT, when I think about my blessings I think about friends, not vacay or stuff or whatever. Friends add so much to life. With them your life is full of flavor and richness. Without them it can be hard going at times. God created us for relationship- not just with Him but with each other. Of all the things that are precious to me , my friends are that!

Thank you for being my friends! You make a difference in my world.
