From Lost to Found



LOST a freind a while
back. Gave into fear and confusion
and dysfunctional group politics. To call
it what it was....I was
selfish. Lazy. Not kind enough to
sit down, reach out...talk it
out. Lucky for me the roots
of our friendship run deep. Lucky
for me she held out her
hand and invited me back into
her life. And her heart. In
our way we share sisterhood. And
celebrate milestones - marriages, baptisms, graduations and
championships - as family does. We share
courage, laughter, exhaustion, faith...and the
comfort born of a friendship FOUND.


{This past Sunday we got to share in the beautiful baptism of a young woman ~ the daughter of my dear, refound friend. So when this Six Word Friday topic was "Lost and Found" I knew right away what I'd share about today! My daughter took all the photos.}

Thrilled to be linking up

  3. I've found that friendships with other women are so important yet, somehow, can be so difficult. I think it's because we expect more.

    I'm glad to know you "found" your way back together.
