Celebration of Friends

Imagine 16 of your most intimate friends sitting together in your living room on a sunny, Saturday afternoon. They have come to celebrate your birthday and you plan to honor each one for their friendship.

It really happened to me. Five years ago I celebrated lifelong friends on my 55th birthday. Now, as I prepare to turn 60 in just a few days, I'm reflecting on the joy and refreshment I receive from my friends.

Friendships just don’t happen. You have to nurture a friendly relationship just like any other relationship. Having a few close friends is a reality in my life because I’ve sought friends and worked at keeping them. Friends care. And that’s why friends are so important to have in your life.

Imagine two, or eight, or 16 of your most intimate friends sitting together in your living room. It can be a little bit of heaven. I sit back and savor the sweet memories of my party and the affect the afternoon had on everyone. It was an astonishing time of fellowship, love and sharing.

What are you doing for your friends? It's never too late to cultivate friends.

"If I can put one thought of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God." George MacDonald, 1824-1905

One cold February morning on the way to work I spotted these two lambs. I stop frequently to take pictures of animals or scenery that catches my eye. Many shots I make into note cards and mail to encourage others.

Welcome to my new blog site! I'm in the beginning stages of creation, but hope to provide a refreshing and encouraging site for you to visit. Note writing is my theme and photography is my hobby. Check back with me occasionally to be refreshed and encouraged!
