I know you’ve all been waiting for part two. 😉 So here it is! If you didn’t see part one then you really should so you can read the crazy way that Rachel and I met. 🙂 Can I just say how fun this has been?! Meeting Rachel and then introducing all you lovely readers to her has been delightful. Friendship is a sweet gift and not something to be taken for granted. One way that the 1828 edition of Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language defines friendship is:
An attachment to a person, proceeding from intimate acquaintance, and a reciprocation of kind offices, or from a favorable opinion of the amiable and respectable qualities of his mind. Friendship differs from benevolence, which is good will to mankind in general, and from that love which springs from animal appetite. True friendship is a noble and virtuous attachment, springing from a pure source, a respect for worth or amiable qualities. False friendship may subsist between bad men, as between thieves and pirates. This is a temporary attachment springing from interest, and may change in a moment to enmity and rancor.
See real friendship is rare because real love is rare (I’m not talking about romantic love but sacrificial love). Recently in my reading I came upon this quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and I’ve been thinking on it ever since: “Human love breeds hot house flowers; spiritual love creates the fruits that grow healthily in accord with God’s good will in the rain and storm and sunshine of God’s outdoors.” If you have true friends cherish them.

I love ya’lls friendship! So sweet! I loved the story of how you met, for I have also met some amazing friends through blogging. Part 1 was splendid to see, and Part 2 is even better. 🙂 I’ll be praying for your friendship, and that God will continue you to bless you both! You amazing girls, you!
So do we! 😉 I’m thrilled that everyone has been enjoying this as much as we have. 🙂 And I’m happy you liked the pics as well. We certainly had a grand time making them and the memories that came with it. Thank you so much for your prayers. That is a wonderful blessing!xxx
Elaini, what does your shirt say in these pictures? By the way love all of the pictures!
It says Uganda on it. My brother got it for me. 🙂 Some of the proceeds went to build wells there and since my brother goes there once a year it’s fitting. 🙂

On a side note, have you heard anything on hosannas health? I have had a few people ask me about him at church.

Yes, I did get an update on our sweet boy Hosanna and it will be in Thursday’s post. There is going to be a prayer day starting on the 7th. Thank you so much for praying and for asking others to do so as well. Such a blessing and an encouragement! xxx
