“If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up.” Ecclesiastes 4:10
If you have read my post from this morning, you might have noticed that I am blogging once a week over at Christian Women On-Line. I wrote my first post last night and it had to do with friendship. Friendship we make via the internet or blogging.
I had to share about my closest friend Jamie, who lives in Tennessee, because she truly has become someone really special in my life. I feel more like being a sister to her (okay me being the older sister – but not wiser :lol:). But then again, we are sisters (in a way) like Lauren used to say: separated at birth :smile:…
Anyway, long story short. Guess what I received today? Any guesses? Yep – a ‘Friendship Basket’. You have another chance to guess from who…No other than Jamie aka TNChick. Can you believe it? As I wrote last night:
“But I have made a very dear and close friend in Tennessee through blogging. We have so much in common, it sometimes is scary…”
Now we even have the same thoughts in our heads :lol:. Below you will find a picture of the basket. But what really tickled me was the card enclosed, which described the item and why it was in the basket. I would like to share it with you:
“This Friendship Basket contains reminders of friendship:
Lifesavers to remind you of the many times we need help.
Cotton Ball for rough roads – seek the cushioned support of others.
A Rubber Band as a reminder to stay flexile.
Sweet Tart Candy to help you appreciate differences in others.
Candy Kisses to remind you that everyone needs kisses.
Happy Stickers. Smiling increases your face value & is contagious.
A Candle to remind you to share your light with others.
Band-Aid for healing hurt feelings.
Recipe Card to share a favorite with a friend; a symbol of caring.
A Paper Clip to help keep things together if they slip out of control.
Tissues to wipe away a tear.
Small Smooth Stone to remind your rough times refine & polish.
An Eraser to remind you that everyday starts with a clean slate.”
Isn’t that :cool:? Told you…she is a true blessing to me. And if we don’t meet in this lifetime (although I hope we do)…I know that we will meet in heaven and dance on the street of golden together…
