Our Beautiful Nest: Giving Thanks: Day 27

Lovely Quotes

So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.'"

~Luke 17:10

Friend, what is your "best thing"? No doubt it is something which has cost you. When we offer our best, it always takes a bite out of something we hold dear. So always offer to God your best. And when you do, you will be happy about it because it is a true gift of love.

Giving Thanks: Day 27

Cris

Day 27: I am thankful for friends. I have so many great friends that I have had for years. Also, over the years, I have had fabulous friendships that have come in for just a specific season in my life. Often I hear that a person is lucky if they have two really good friends throughout their entire life, and I wonder if I live in an imaginary world with all the friends that I can count in my life.

Jenn, Heather, Debbie, Abby, Kaylee, and I. (Did I miss the memo? I thought we were doing a crazy picture, apparently we were trying to do a nice one!)

I have known Jenn, Heather, and Debbie for pretty much my entire life and am now Auntie Cris to the girls. Their friendship is such a blessing and I consider them all to be family. Besides for these lovely gals, I am so thankful for all of the rest of my friends. Friends that have been there through thick and thin and have helped keep the friendship going even after all these years. My life has been enriched greatly by all of you!
