Pleasant Company and Flowers!!

Today was especially nice because we had good friends over for lunch! Longtime friends, where familiarity itself, brings a comfort to me. I have been thinking about the visit and I realized that part of what made it special was the Mother and Daughter part. C. homeschooled her children as well and the closeness that comes with mothers and their daughters in a homeschooling family is just another added benefit! Here we were with our adult daughters, still together in one room enjoying each others' company. Oh, what a blessing it was! I had invited the daughter over for lunch and then she called and asked if her Mother could come! So our little tea luncheon grew and it was a great visit!

While they were here, the mail came and a box was delivered fo me. While I confess the box looked pretty suspicious that flowers could be inside........I couldn't imagine who would have sent them. Surprise.....another longtime friend, this time of Caroline's!!! We became "phone friends" everytime Lizzy would call Caroline and if I answered it seemed like we would chat for some time ourselves! When Lizzy found my health to not be so good this time, she has shown her tenderhearted side in a big way and I can't thank her enough!! What blessings my Heavenly Father sends my way through friends, family, flowers and so much more!

Before I close I want to share that I found a link to a great site I want to pass on. There are 12 biographical stories of children from the Bible and I have read one story so that's as far as I can vouch for. But they are old stories that have been edited and I found the story quite enjoyable. I'm looking forward to reading more and searching out more of their choices on their website!

Here's the link:

Because of Him I have hope!
