Friendship Friday

Jewel

One definition of the word jewel is precious possession.

Here is my definition, a friend named Jewell. It is a blessing to have friends who provide a safe place to be ourselves with no pretense. They tell us the truth whether we want to hear it or not. Some friends don't sugar coat anything. They  tell us what is on their mind.

That is my friend, Jewell! I  don't have to wonder what is on her mind.  She is honest.  Sometimes I may not want  to hear what she has to say. Yes, she keeps in 100.
Jewell's is a cheerful greeter at our church. She is also a gifted Bible teacher, wife, mother, grandmother,  and friend!


In honor of St. Patrick's Day
An Irish Friendship Wish 
May there always be work for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold a coin or two;
May the sun always shine on your window pane;
May a rainbow be certain to follow each each;
May the hand of a friend always be near you;
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Keep it moving


Last night, I had an interesting conversation with Jerry (my husband). This conversation unearthed some important challenges I need to address. Why is the world would I choose to ignore good counsel and advice? Why would I decide to continue in a place that did not produce fruit in my life?   We came up with two answers: pride and spiritual blindness. What will I do differently? How can I avoid making the same mistakes?  We discuss areas of accountability.

Confession and repentance will help me not get stuck in sin. Honest conversations between loved ones  may allow us to be transparent and vulnerable. It can be a safe place to let go of junk.  Keep it moving. 

This couple recently shared their vacation plans.... and permission to share their picture.  Riding on a Harley, they definitely keep it moving. 
They love riding their Harley! It is gorgeous!
