Thankful Thursday...

Today, I am thankful for my best friend - Martha... She has richly blessed my life for a very long time. I talk with her or see her everyday!!
The first time Martha and I met, we attended a party and were wearing the same dress! Ohhhhh the horror of it all! There we were - jaws dropped, glaring at each other... morified 12 year-old's (I have a picture somewhere that I simply
must find!)
Martha is an AMAZING Mom to sweet Samuel... and has another little one on the way (Yip-peee - A GIRL!!!) She's also a WONDERFUL wife to James! She's one of my faithful PRAYER WARRIORS... I know I can always count on her!!! She always seems to find time for me in her crazy, demanding life. Martha's the Vice-President of a local insurance company and is as smart as a whip!!! She was my maid-of-honor... as I could choose no other! She knows EVERYTHING about me... every little secret! Martha knows how to really listen to a person... completely non-judgementally! And when I need to vent... she gives me her opinion ONLY after I ask for it. She's exactly what a best friend should be...

So today - Martha, thank you! I am thankful God planted the seed of our friendship - 25 years ago! Time flies by, when you're having fun! You're awesome and I am one lucky girl!!!

A Friend is a Treasure
A friend is someone we turn to,
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure,
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives,
with beauty, joy and grace.
And make the world we live in,
a better and happier place.

Hey Shelley,
Lilli seems to be feeling somewhat better with the meds, but our appointment with the pediatric gastro isn't until Sept. 2nd!!!
As long as I know she isn't in any pain and her issues won't have any long term effects on her body... we can wait. It's only 1-1/2 month away... right???
If anything new happens, I'll let you know!!
Love to you, David and those pretty, pretty girls of yours!
