Friendships to Keep

“How can one sleep

When hidden so deep

Are memories of journey

And friendships to keep.”

Friends Encourage Dreams

“Dreams are adventures you invite only your closest friends to share…

For your girlfriends are the ones who will give you the courage and wings to reach them.”

Quote from Day 327 in “Whispers of Friendship”. Barbour Publishing, Inc. 2009. ISBN 978-1-61628-3

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works…”Hebrews 10:23 (ESV)

Opened Heaven’s Door

 

“A friend loves at all times.” Proverbs 17:17

Miss Cheryl and I never exchanged a harsh word between us.

Oh yes, she would “line” me out a time or two,

“Now, Miss Denise”,

But never in anger or a cruel word on her tongue;

Always with kindness and love.

 

I will miss you greatly my friend. From my heart to yours,

 

Opened Heaven’s Door

“She felt deeply for her students, and

Considered each her “dear”.

Listening to their stories;

Counseling them with her ear;

Open to their heartaches,

As she gathered each one near.

 

But Heaven gained a Daughter,

Faithful to the Son.

I know she heard Him say to her,

“Well done My faithful servant, your job on earth is done.”

 

Oh, the Joy ahead, and the Peace to Hope for more.

When Jesus called her to Himself, and

Opened heaven’s door.”

 

In memory and honor of my friend and co-worker during our “season’ of Elementary school together.

Hugs in Elementary – Friendship

“…but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 (NIV)

It’s all about Hugs in Elementary – Friendship

Friendship…was the “word”

for the day in our morning

announcements.

 – Friend and ship –

We sail this life together.

These boys have it 

“arms round!”

 

“…a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (ESV)
