The Gift of Giving.....and Friendship

Friendship is a blessing,
its the best you have to share.
The talents and the wisdom,
the capacity to share.
Its being there to lend support,
whenever needs arise.
Its making sure that others know,
they're special in your eyes.
Friendship is a blessing,
and to all who have a friend,
its one of the most precious gifts,
that life could ever send.
 
by Emily Matthews
 


My sincerest thanks to all of those who have showed
support in my effort to help a friend in need.
You have filled my heart with such joy this Christmas Season!

It has amazed me the outpouring of kindness & love that I have
been shown the last few days.  I never could have imagined that a small gesture on my part would
 come to this.  So many people joining together to make a difference in someones life.
I wish I could share just a wee bit of what I am
feeling right now, my heart is full of joy, my eyes, full of tears of happiness.

May the Lord bless each and every one of you!
Traci

You have done a wonderful thing by starting the process of helping a friend in need -- and seeing how many good, good people are out there, willing to help someone they may not have ever met, has really touched my heart. When all you see on the news is people hurting others, this has been a real blessing to me. Thanks so much, and may God bless you always, Traci!

  11. Planting a seed and watching it grow is one of God's greatest gifts. Sometimes we don't take the time to plant the seeds and when we do we forget it watch them grow. The seed you planted has grown and brought many together to fertilize it and turn it into best of God's greatest gifts.. the gift of Giving, sharing, & caring for a fellow human being!

    Merry Christmas my Friend may your home and your heart be filled with many warm Christmas memories!!

    Hugs & Blessings
