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!

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.
