Treasure Tuesday

What could be a greater treasure than friends? And vintage friends at that! Here are two special friends I've known for quite the number of years--Chris and Dorothy--regular commenters here on Mountain Musings. So now you can connect their faces with their encouraging words.

The three of us enjoyed a 4+ hour lunch yesterday at Ukrops in Richmond--talking, enjoying catching up on each other's families, exchanging Christmas gifts, and saying goodbye to Dorothy who transfers with her husband and family to Mississippi in January. The atmosphere was festive, the food was good, and time to leave came much too quickly.

"A friend is one to whom we may pour out the contents of our hearts, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will sift it, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away."   ~Arabian proverb

How blessed you are, Deb, to have such wonderful "in-person" friends... Yes, you are blessed indeed...
and the proverb you shared is beautiful.

You, my friend, are a blessing to me from the Lord, and I love you! Thank you for meeting Chris and me so we could see each other one more time before I move. Thank you for the gentle sifting you have done through the years. I will miss you greatly!
