My garden
gives me such great pleasure, as I stroll among the beautiful gifts bestowed
upon me by four very special friends ... as sweet and delightful as any
orchid found in a charming Southern garden.
You will
find other holiday/seasonal gifts from these friends included in the holiday
gift pages
and
also in Van's Southern Garden.
The Fabulous
Five
There
once was a group of five
How
they loved to joke and jive!
About
hubbies, kids, pets and things
Even
their favorite jelly beans.
No bond
of blood they shared
But
none of them really cared.
In their
hearts they knew
They
were sisters through and through!

My Cherished
Friends ...
When
my life is filled with confusion,
you
help me see what is important.
When
each problem seems so
overwhelming,
you are there to
help
share the load.
When
I think of the word 'friend',
I think
of you...
My Cherished
Friends.
God must
have known there
would
be times we'd need a
word
of cheer,
someone
to praise a triumph
or brush
away a tear.
He must
have known we'd
need
to share the joy of
'little
things'
in order
to appreciate the
happiness
life brings.
I think
He knew our
troubled
hearts would
sometimes
throb with pain,
at trials
and misfortunes
or some
goals we can't attain.
He knew
we'd need the comfort
of an
understanding heart,
to give
us strength and courage
to make
a fresh, new start.
He knew
we'd need companionship,
unselfish...lasting...true,
and
so God answered the heart's great need
with
Cherished Friends ... like you.

E is

T is

E is

T is
for thankful that in my life you are,
B is
