Friends!

We had great friends here for 2 weeks. One week was planned. The other was a surprise. But it was so fun and such a blessing! 

    We have been friends since I was 16. There was a little shop in Enterprise ks that I sold soap and candles in. Vicki also sold her crafts there. At 17 I started attending their church on occasion. And at 18 when Patrick and I started spending lots of time with them. It has become a deep friendship. 

   We love them. They were military so at times he was overseas. Too many times. And some of the time we lived in separate states. But we always managed to see each other more than yearly. 

    God has blessed our families. In deaths of our son and their daughter we saw each other grieve. The highs and lows. We took bible studies together. 

   We have taught each other. Her teaching me way more than the other way. ;)

  We have worked together. And played. 

  It was such a blessing having them here to help and for fellowship. As she says there is always work on the farm. They even joked about just staying here. We accomplished so much. Most meals were shared. It was heavenly. Life shared is best. 

   They are traveling the USA with their last child at home. The plan is for a year. Can't wait to see them again!
