Friendship

I have been running around like a crazy woman for the past few days helping my son prepare for a week away at Boy Scout camp--for the first time ever. I've never been away from him this long--and especially without talking on the phone or any contact at all. I'm sure he'll be fine, but this is a big step--for both of us!

In the midst of this temporary insanity (Did you pack your toothbrush? Soap?), and worry about Cinnamon, a few dear friends managed to pull me away for some "girl time". And, it was wonderful! I am blessed to have such wonderful, godly friends in my life, and I'm so thankful for all their support through so many years.

A friend is one to whom you can pour out the contents of your heart, chaff and grain alike, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping,
and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

~George Eliot
