Welcome to my garden

There are so many jewels in my garden... rich soil, flowers, veggies and herbs, birds, butterflies, hummingbirds, ladybugs, seeds sprouting, the sound of the water fountain, but the best jewels are family and friends when they join me in the garden and share in the peace and beauty of what our Heavenly Father has provided me with. So many jewels, so many blessings. Julie +: )

Bonds That Are Formed Out Of Friendship

Sylvia and I have been friends for 36 years. I am proud to call her my best friend. She is one of the strongest women I know and I admire her deep faith in God. Through all these years we have shared laughter and we have shared heartaches and we will continue sharing what comes our way. We will be best friends forever. Sylvia's husband, Bob, will be having a biopsy done on a tumor found in his bronchial. The procedure will be done this Friday. It's a touchy procedure for him because he has only one lung. Please keep him in your prayers.

I wish I could be there by her side, holding her hand and reassuring her that Bob will be fine. Just as she would like to be here by my side, holding my hand and reassuring me that Michelle will be fine.

But I feel her presence and I know she will feel mine. We will keep holding each other up even if we are miles apart.

I love you Syl and this song is for you... Friends are Quiet Angels


Continuing prayers for Michelle as she goes through round 3 of chemo.

  1. My precious Julie....I love you so much, and I can't imagine my life without you!!!! You hold me up when I'm down, you know me more than anyone else in this whole world. I thank God that you are in my life, because knowing you are there for me seems to give me the serenity and peace that I know God has intended for me. I only hope that I am half of the friend to you as you are to me. Thank you for all you do, all your prayers, the laugher, the crying, the holding hands when we need it, the listening without judgement, the memories we share and will continue to share...and most importantly thank you for being the strong, encouraging BEST friend anyone could ever hope for! I love you always and forever....to God and back!

  3. Aren't girlfriends the best? My best friend lives far away, but when we get together, it's like we were never apart.
    I'm so glad you have each other for support and encouragement!
    What a blessing.
