Marcel is snoozing, and I’m suppose to be waking him now, so this is going to have to be short.
It has been a busy day- first Bible Study this morning, and this afternoon Bobbi and I met up with our friend Anna at a local cafe that I’d never been to. They frequent the place on a pretty regular basis and have raved about the coffee and other goodies- sure enough, I was not disappointed with the smoked chicken and avocado salad with a light honey-mustard dressing. It was delicious, and along with great food and coffee, the company was even better.
We spent the afternoon chatting, the way us girls do when we get together, and in what seemed to be a blink of an eye, hours had passed. As we prepared to leave, I stood up to pay for my lunch, and Anna (who had already told Bobbi that it was her turn to pay for lunch), said that she’d be paying for my lunch as well. I told her that she didn’t have to do that, but she insisted, and I was so grateful. It was an unexpected treat.
I’ve been thinking so much about the friendships that I have in my life lately, and how blessed I am for each and every one of you. Each person bringing a rare gem (themselves) to my life. God has blessed me richly, and for that, among other things, I’m so grateful.
My Gratitude List For March 31, 2009.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- An afternoon spent in the company of friends.
- Anna’s lunch treat.
- The diamonds in my life- also known as my friends.
- Finding the brand name of the coat I’ve been wanting.
- Warmer temps.
Well, consider this: 🙂 You are a *diamond* in my life. *you* shine and sparkly so brightly! *hugs* and I’m glad you and your sweet friends could go out to the cafe and have fun!
