Faithful Friends Who Are Dear To Us, Gather Near To Us Once More...

For the last eight years, we have gathered together each Christmas to catch up, exchange gifts, and share a meal, and laugh, share stories, and have a wonderful time.

These ladies have been faithful friends....for many, many years....and it is a joy to gather together once more.

F is for Friendship

Here I am with my best friend from college at our reunion last summer.

I am very thankful for the friends in my life.

Today I had a lunch date with a friend, and we spent four hours catching up.

Another friend has been trying to call me for about a week to talk, but we can't seem to connect. But I know soon we will talk.

Some I gather together with once a month to talk about books.

Some I see only when I visit them in their hometown.

I have different levels of friends, but each are important to me.

Sometimes I seclude myself from my friends. I don't really mean to, but I do. But I realize that isn't a good thing. I need my friends. They have been put into my life for a variety of reasons.

I am so thankful for my friends.
