Good friends warm the heart like nothing else can. I appreciate our many good friends more than words can tell. A picture is worth a thousand words, or so they say... , check out the smile on mom's face and the twinkle in her eye in the photos as she poses with our most recent visitors.
Mom’s friends have always been my friends and my friends have always been mom’s friends. I’ve always liked that. We had a couple of great visits with friends over the past few days. It’s harder for mom to get out, especially with the snow and cold, and I appreciate all the friends that come to visit.
Sunday brought a visit with Buster and Jacquie. They came over sporting gifts -- presents to be opened and plenty of love and good cheer. Their gifts brought warmth and encouragement. We had a lovely time visiting with them. Mom showed her two newest quilts, both in progress, that my sister and her friends are helping her with.
John Collingwood (not to be confused with Dad John or Brother John) and I came over for a lunch hour visit on Monday. John also brought gifts of good cheer and inspiration along with his Christmas gift to mom. The time we spent together warmed our hearts and filled us with encouragement on a cold, snowy day. God was with us as we traveled snow-covered roads to reach mom’s house.
God has blessed us with the love, care, concern, and prayers of so many friends. Friends help cushion the blows along the way, and your prayers keep us afloat in the constantly changing ALS Sea. We appreciate you so much. You are angles sent straight from heaven. I think of the friend who volunteered to set up my blog, the friend who made my mom's fishing book, the ladies who help her quilt, the friends who pray every day! We are forever grateful for your precious love and friendship. You make a big difference in our life -- adding richness and forever changing us with your love.
