"Morning"

A dear friend from my church (who happens to read my blog) is coming over today. I get to see her usually at least once every week or two, and she is one of the Friends Who Keep Me Sane--just having some adult interaction on a regular basis is wonderful, but she is also honest, insightful, real and good at both listening and talking. She often makes herself vulnerable and allows me to do the same. She can encourage me, make me think or draw me closer to God completely unintentionally and without realizing she's doing so.

I always enjoy getting together with her. Sometimes we'll just talk, sometimes we'll do something like bake, do the dishes or play a game. She usually fits right in to what we're doing. I never feel like I have to "entertain" her or try to be someone I'm not with her. My kids love her and she interacts very well with them. She has no children of her own, so my kids treat her like an honorary aunt. They call her "Morning."

She helped me with the eye meme a few months ago, and we took a picture of her eyes in the process too. They are lovely eyes--deep, thoughtful brown eyes. Like the rest of her face, they mirror her thoughts and reveal much of her personality.



She's informed me that while here today she'd like to help by cleaning my kitchen floor. And, she just called to say she's stopping at the store and asked what she could pick up for me.

I'm thanking God for friends like her.

And, since I know you'll be reading this . . . thanks, "Morning." :) You totally made my day. And your friendship is one of the great treasures of my life. I only hope I can bless you as much as you bless me.
