GIFTS FROM GOD--MY
FRIENDS!
Not only have I been blessed with a wonderful family, but also with wonderful friends on the internet. I have met so many great people in chat rooms and through e-mail that I could never list them all here. I want each of you to know that you have touched my life in a special way and that you each have a special spot in my heart.
To my very very best friend, JESUS -- who gets TOP billing in my life. I give Him a multitude of thanks and praise for His love, mercy, and many gifts.
Please always remember what a true friend is:
JN15:13 - "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
Thank you all for being my friends!

I LOVE YOU not only for what you are, but
what I am when I am with you.
I LOVE YOU not only for what you have made of
yourself, but for what you are making of
me.
I LOVE YOU for the part of me that
you bring out.
I LOVE YOU for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart, and passing over all the foolish and frivolous and weak things which you cannot help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful, radiant belongings, that no one else had looked quite far enough to find.
I LOVE YOU for ignoring the possibilities of the fool and weakling in me, and for laying firm hold on the possibilities of good in me.
I LOVE YOU for closing your eyes to the discords in me, and for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening.
I LOVE YOU because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life not a tavern but a Temple, and of the words of my every day not a reproach but a song.
I LOVE YOU because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me good, and more than any fate could have done to make me happy. You have done it just by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being a friend means after all.---anonymous

Two hearts that beat so strong and true
Sisters whispering "I LOVE YOU"

A friend is like a rose
So giving of their beauty
So giving their Love
And let me tell you why
They start out with branches
Reaching to embrace and hold the beauty
Of what life has to offer one and all
Then, unfolds its leaves of care-ness
To capture the sunlight so warm and so pure
And in return it gives this sunlight
To give growth of friendship
And brighten a day or two
Then there is the bud
Like all friendships start out as
So, just there and adieu
Closed to the world
Unsure of itself, life and you
As time goes on this bud opens
So slowly a pedal at a time
Soon showing you and the world
Of the beauty that it held so deep inside
This beauty and softness it is so willing to share
With every single person who stops to
Touch a leaf or even a soft pedal or two
Here is its beautiful pedal's
Look real close at the morning dew
These are in fact the tears
From sadness and happiness alike
That it accepts with pride
From its friends like me and you
Then it gives, the ultimate sacrifice
The rose gives it's all, it's life to be given
As a single beautiful gift in the name of Love,
Sadness and Forgiveness
This is why my friend, Yes you!
Like this rose so giving of its love
So tender, loving and true!
I hold you to my heart dear friend
Forever will I remember you!
I asked for a flower,
He gave me a garden.
I asked for a tree,
He gave me a forest.
I asked for a river,
He gave me an ocean.
I asked for a friend,
He gave me "YOU."

A POEM OF CONNIE
I'm blessed with such a treasure
Not a monetary find,
It's a blessing of a friendship
A Connie Fournier kind.
She loves the Lord Christ Jesus
With all her heart and soul,
Her life's a true reflection
For His story to unfold.
She has a love for family
Is devoted as can be,
Her love inside just overflows
As everyone can see.
I thank God for your presence
For the day that you were born,
It was all in His grand plan
He created you in His form.
She lifts up many people
In their different time of needs,
She'll be there standing by you
To plant our Father's seeds.
You have touched the lives of many
With your kind and gentle ways,
May God give you great blessings
For the remainder of your days.
A strong prayer Christian warrior
Who prays for others well,
Knowing scriptures from the Bible
That she will share and tell.
One gift she has is singing
Giving others countless joys,
Singing praises to our Father
With songs of heartfelt stories.
So doubt not for a moment
That you are very loved,
You're such a good example
Of our Father up above.
And on your special day today
I hope you'll always know,
That you are loved by many
That God has blessed us so.
