Gift for Life

 Once again, I had the privilege of having lunch and a day out with my dear friends.  

We went to a neighboring town and enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the cutest little cafe, then we shopped at a couple of boutiques and an Antique store.  

                         


This candelabra was so neat.  As you can see, Many, Many candles have burned on this one stand.  I really examined the candelabra to see how the wax had built up from the bottom to the top...so neat!

As we all know, life is a GIFT, given to us from our Heavenly Father.   

Each time my friends and I gather for lunch or for a girls day out, I see the gifts that each lady brings to our friendship.  I always tell them that the greatest beauty of being old High School friends, is the connections that we share as well as our experiences and stories.  


I love all kinds of art.....  whether it is a drawing, a painting, or a tapestry piece. Many of you post your drawings and I so much enjoy and appreciate your talents... For the past fourteen years, my heart has been creating a unique piece of art.  It is a tapestry, and it is being made from the best stories, lessons, dreams, setbacks and triumphs from the BEST blogging friends.  

When we share stories, we offer insights into different paths and ways of thinking.  I enjoy hearing about all of the journeys you each take. You each add to my tapestry and I thank you for doing so.  Hopefully, I will get to spend many years working on this unique piece of art.    

Friendships, whether it is through blogging or having lunch with High School friends, is a gift for life.  

YOU are a Gift!!

  6. A tapestry, yes! What a splendid way to put it.
    This candelabra reminds me of the old Chianti wine bottles in baskets with drippy wax. There used to be a sweet little Italian Restaurant in Fort Worth with one of those on every table.

  9. That candelabra is so neat with the wax build up. Have never seen anything like it. A day of shopping at boutiques and antique stores with friends and lunch sounds like so much fun. I may be having a shopping outing next week, and it will be fun to see all the Christmas goodies on display. A tapestry of friendship, that is beautiful, Shug. And your friendship means so much to me too. I love visiting here, and your positive outlook is something to be appreciated and admired.
