from sitting long

I'm trying not to dwell too long on why these quotes about patience keep falling into my lap, this one by Beth Moore...

"Patience to wait

does not come

from suffering long from what we lack

but

from sitting long in what we have."

One of those things we do have on hand, I'll just bet, is a sweet friend who's hung about and loved us for who we are, even when we weren't the least bit lovable.

I made this necklace last week from old bits and pieces I have stashed here and there, all the while thinking about the value of close friends...something I haven't taken the time to cherish as the treasures they are.  Need to work on that, most definitely.

Would love to give this necklace to you, one of my reader friends.  If you'd like, just leave me one comment before noon on Friday.  I'll choose at random and get in touch with you.

Dear friends, I am grateful for the relationships I have made here in cyberland; I know on the other end of this cold, hard machine is a warm, tender heart.

Happy Tuesday to you!
