Between my birthday and Christmas I was blessed with gifts from friends...
 blog friends...
Friendship across the miles but ever so meaningful.

Sometimes you find that the miles between you are not that far and you take the leap of faith and put those miles away between you. 

Such is the case this week.

I am grateful, 
not so much for the gifts, 
although they are lovely and more than I could ever ask for.
But the love and caring that goes into each gift...

The friendship that has been gifted to me

From such dear ones that the Lord has hand picked to bless my life at this moment in time, to encourage, edify and bring pleasure

Donna, you are my gift.

Talented and beautiful with such a caring heart

To create such lovely gifts and be there to support and encourage

Thank you my sweet

But the Blessings do not end here

This week I was also blessed  with 
 Debra

Such a beautiful gift, made by her hand and put in mine.

One of her favorite creations taken from her neck and given to me. I was touched at Debra's giving heart. A heart that is fashioned from the heart of God.
Thank you, my sister.


And by mail...

And what a birthday surprise, from my friend Terri... such a gifted caring woman...

to make this journal and surprise me with it. Such a talented sweet friend.

Thank you, Terri

But it doesn't end there...

And so many miles away... what a wonder it is,
 that we can call each other friend...

This big world made small by our blogs

To see the talents of so many amazing woman and then to be able to call them friend... such it is with my friend
Carolyn

Thank you sweetheart.
