Yes – friendships are precious. Every woman brings something different to the mixture. I am truly blessed with my on-line friendships. Do you have friendships like that? If you do, consider nominating the women for the “Sweet Scent Blog Awards” hosted by CWO. You can find details in my sidebar.
Hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Thursday…

Thank you also so much for your wonderful friendship, Iris. Though we’ve never really meant, I still feel blessed knowing that I have ready ear available for me to speak to whenever I need one. God bless you! My Thankfuls are up too 🙂
I am blessed and truly thankful for our friendship…you have been there with encouragement instead of judgment, you have been there with patience instead of disappointment, you have been there with grins and giggles when I needed them. I have been “laced with the grace” of your friendship and I am forever grateful for that.
More awards? Wow. How do you keep up with it all.
I am thankful for friendships, too. Online and off.
WOW! What a fabulous post! Thanks for the heads-up on the Sweet Scent Blog Awards. But since you already have it, I’ll have to think of someone else:).
Blessings to you.
You are too sweet. We all appreciate you so very much. This is a wondeful Thankful Thursday. I am thrilled at how the Lord has used our little communoity of bloggers to grow and encourage each of us. Iris, you are such a blessing and have such a wonderful ability to bring us all together, thank you.
And you are such an encouagement to us all! I’m honored to be on your friend list.
You have an amazing list of friends! What a privilege an an honor to be named on your list. :~) I cast my votes the other night, for the Sweet Scents awards, thanks. You’re always right on top of bloggity goodness!
Iris, the funny thing is, I’m MISSING my online friends. As you know (I think), ever since our trip to Florida, I’ve been “behind”–playing catch up in real life, but more so, here. I can barely get anything written, it’s difficult to respond to comments, and I MISS READING MY FRIENDS! I miss you…and others. This always surprises me, because I don’t “know” know you, you know ;)?
Like emom, I consider it an honor to be listed among your friends…and that ain’t just air blowin’ up your skirt :). Your posts remind me to be thankful at all times, and to seek Christ and see “good” in all things. That’s a great quality to offer your readers.
I am thankful for you too!!! and for all my online friends. Knowing you are all out there makes the world feel less scary. The body of Christ in action!
I am truly honored to be your friend – thank you for being mine! 🙂
PS – I will be heading out later today to visit all your friends. And I will check out that contest too!
Thank you for your friendship! I am daily amazed by the community that has developed and continues to grow in our cyber-community! Not just about the warm-fuzzies either…it’s about real life….real struggles…real joy! Our God is so real….thanks for being such a beautiful vessel of His love.
