You have always been there for me with such generosity and words of love that I am left feeling humbled by my own shortcomings when it comes to being a friend! So don't judge yourself by other people's talents. I think you are absolutely wonderful (and a true reflection of God's love) just the way you are. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10098217.post-72670609190937412332007-11-20T02:10:00.000-08:002007-11-20T02:10:00.000-08:00Justine, I know what you mean by friends who teach...Justine, I know what you mean by friends who teach us about grace. <BR/>With my recent heart attack, operation and recovery, I found out just how gold my friends are. There's nothing I can do that will ever repay the way they've given with no thought of receiving back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10098217.post-54935968035514517602007-11-19T22:33:00.000-08:002007-11-19T22:33:00.000-08:00Oh yeah, I totally get that, too; it's just that s...Oh yeah, I totally get that, too; it's just that sometimes I wish I were a little more <I>gifted</I> in the gifting department. More able to take a simple occasion and make it so special by that extra little something of style and substance. I guess I'm envious of my friends' flair and panache and innate sense of going the extra mile. I'm always five days late and half a dollar short.<BR/><BR/>But, of course, being there <I>is</I> the key. And here I am; here I am.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully my friends "feel free to laugh or cry; feel free to wonder why; feel free to dance or grieve;" and know "that [they] are safe when [they're] with me."<BR/><BR/>Oh yes, I will use the Carolyn quotes, too. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10098217.post-9935339169008432572007-11-19T19:30:00.000-08:002007-11-19T19:30:00.000-08:00Sometimes, just being there for other people can r...Sometimes, just <I>being there</I> for other people can repay a lifetime of gifts. At the right time, you're there to share, and give of yourself, and it's worth as much, if not more, than the sum of what the other person has given you. <BR/><BR/>Remember, "You're blessed to bless and the best of possessions is having something to give."Mark.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08037231672699876085noreply@blogger.com
