Friends for Life

There are just some folks who you know that no matter what you're going to be friends... for life.Even though I've really only known Dottie for about four years now... our paths had crossed through church activities for some time before... but when we were both going to the same church and the same Sunday School class we really began to realize just how much we had in common.... and how much we just loved chatting over tea and coffee...





She and her brother Bill and her two puppies, Heather and Holly, just bless us with sweet, true blue fellowship!!!!



Dottie is such an amazingly intelligent and competent gal... she really keeps me on my toes.... whether it is in our deep discussions about world events or spiritual growth she stretches my horizons and encourages me to reach higher.... and when Im out of sorts or just need someone to talk to... she's always there. Like last nght when Lynn had a dinner meeting about work.... Dottie cleared her schedule to come share dinner with me and watch a movie...
so since we both enjoy breakfast out so much I thought we'd just have breakfast in..

and then we watched Australia with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman... a great after dinner chick flick

The Support of Godly Friends

I never even met them, not truly in the physical realm. I met them in the spirit, though. I am speaking of my Cyber Mitford neighbors. I lived in"Mitford" for four years- four years of sharing, fellowship, and growing in my spiritual testimony. The porch was a very cosy place to visit each morning, share a glass of sweet tea, and mingle with other sojourners who wished to pass some time. Of course, time there was so pleasant one could easily wile away a few hours over the course of a day. There one could find friendship, encouragement, prayer, and a friendly ear to speak of things beyond this world, speak of the treasures being stored in our heavenly home.
There I met Liz, and Julie, Juli, Gina, and a couple of Jans. There was also a very special Mary, a Laura, and a dear sweet Pamela. everyone of these precious women bless my life in ways beyond earthly understanding. Each one so different- some so domestic, motherly, others with the capacity to love with such huge hearts, others so demonstrative and bold in things of faith. One thing that particularly tickles me is that if we could all join hands we would span this whole great nation- we, each, live so far apart, yet we all hold one thing particularly in common. Our heavenly home awaits us, each one, and there we will definitely continue our favored pasttime of all- serving and worshipping our wonderful God and Savior. To you, my friends, your support and friendship mean more to me than you will ever know! God bless you, every one!
