A TRUE FRIEND

I'm re-reading all of Jan Karon's books and I ran across this quote....it is a thoughtful reminder for all of us who have the opportunity to be mindful of and treasure friendships:

Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person: having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them out.  Just as they are ___chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
                   _Dinah Maria (Mulock) Craik 1826-1887

About Me

Beaumont, Texas, United States
I have been married to Ralph, a retired Baptist minister, for many years. We have two adult sons. After retiring from teaching, I became a freelance writer and speaker for Christian audiences - especially women. My heart's desire is to share the lessons God has taught and is teaching me during my journey with Him. I love writing and teaching and I think I'm going to love "blogging"! There is such great joy and laughter in living with Jesus; I want to share that with others.
