The scripture says there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. We were two young navy wives who had no idea how God would weave the threads of our tapestry together. She has been one of my dearest friends for over thirty-three years. Her gift of hospitality and caring for others shines brightly. The threads of our lives have seen both happiness and sorrow. But never a tighter stitch exists. When my friend and I visit one another we fall right into step as if we'd never been apart. One day she said, “do you know why that is? its because we have a history together.” You know, she’s right - God is so good! We're stitched together in His love.

What a beautiful card and what a beautiful friendship. Thank you for sharing your story of your history with your dear friend. God is truly good!
I love the pearls and lace you've used here. This sentiment is wonderful but even more so now considering the meaning is holds for you and your friend.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind comment this evening. It warms my heart to know there are so many wonderful Christian women who come to SCS to share their time, talent and gifts - including friendships.
We (my friend and I) still marvel at the remarkable story that is unfolding for both of our families. Tomorrow we will know whether we'll have a grandson or granddaughter!
Thank you again for your very sweet comment. Come back and visit me again, please.
