James and Ann~~ Amazing Friends

James and Ann came to my birthday dinner as a surprise to me. What fun!! Richard first got to know James in Sunday School when I was in the choir and not in SS with him. I met Ann in a ladies group in which we were both quite involved and our friendship grew there. Our friendships grew on both ends. Ann and I have enjoyed doing "girl stuff" together (we ate at our favorite restaurant for lunch today!) and also enjoy doing "double-date" events with our hubbies. They are an awesome couple and their love for our Lord shines through. James and Ann are super-duper folks in our book!

Our Forever Friends~~ Jeff and Sandra

Jeff and Sandra are dear friends. They went out with us for my birthday dinner on Saturday night, and we do lots of stuff together as couples. Jeff is working nights this summer so Sandra came over this afternoon to swim with me and then stayed for dinner with Richard and me. God is so good to bless us with Godly and precious friends. Our friends~~~ Jeff and Sandra!!

My Birthday Gift from a beloved Christian Fiction Author...

Jennifer Seest is a wonderful Christian Fiction author and a dear online friend of mine. She made this lovely "tag" for me for my birthday. She writes wonderful books which I would highly recommend. You can read all about Jennifer and her sweet family on her website as well as view the books she has written and order some for yourself or for friends. (They make great gifts!) When you go to her website, click on the row of books right under the flags on the top of the page. Her URL: www.our.homewithGod.com/ewerluvd

John and Jeanette~~ Jewels in Friendship

If you have read about my birthday dinner and what happened after dinner, you will know where these friends are and what they are doing. :) Someone commented this morning how that it seems like we have made lots of friends in Pensacola. God has truly blessed us with PRECIOUS friends in our 5-1/2 years here, and we praise HIM for that. This is John and Jeanette. Richard has the privilege of eating lunch with them at work most every day. We enjoy getting together in each other's homes and they are our "let's-eat-out" buddies as well. J&J: thank you for your special and precious friendship!!
