Vintage Inspiration Friday#19 Inspired Friendships



"Vintage": a season's produce of grapes; wine from this
wine of high quality from a year or district
high quality from the year of a person's work
a superior harvest
classic
mature





For the last three days I've had the blessing of sharing my life with a truly amazing person. Neither one of us knew exactly the reason for the visit, other than God had a plan for us to meet. Talking, laughing, shopping, praying and eating. We did all those things with renewed purpose and energy. If anyone tries to tell you that blogging friends aren't REAL friends then they need to start a blog, and let them find out for themselves.





We "met" 18 months ago when I first started blogging, then grew in our maturity and friendship as I started my Bible Study Blog. Her comments were insightful, prayerful, and uplifting. She challenged me for expanding my thinking and prayer life. She is a strong, loving, and spiritually passionate woman.



And now I can really call her friend.


So even though we might be considered "vintage", we have celebrated our lives, relationships, friendships, creativity, passions, and our love for God. And as Luke 5:39 would testify, "And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, 'The old is good enough.'"

White Wednesday: just can't miss...

I've participated in every White Wednesday with Kathleen
since she started, 18 months ago, except twice.

(the first one, and then once when I was in the hospital)
So I didn't want to miss this one.
















My little "Winter Madonna" planter is in my Dining Room
and I've so enjoyed her over the Christmas Season.
I think she's going to stay.

I'm expecting a special house guest for a day or two.
I'll share with you for Vintage Inspiration Friday.

love,
Debra
