A personal side-note. These two ladies are incredible. I grew up with them. I've had a few email exchanges or comment exchanges {blog to blog} with them recently. Their mother is someone who had a profound influence on my life. I was able to help out in her Sunday school class the year and a half before the Lord took her home. She also had it arranged my freshman year for "town girls" to come to nightly devotions at the college girls dorm while I was in college. I can still hear some of her "devos" and words of admonition and encouragement. I miss her so much. And the love of the Lord that shone through her life has been passed on to her daughters. They are a Biblical example of love and friendship!

Praise the Lord for your mom's health! There are several ladies I've known that were diagnosed with cancer and not given very long to live, but praise God lived MANY years past the doctors prediction!
I'm glad to hear your grandma's surgery went well!
Becca, I really enjoy these "endless gifts." I've started my own list, after linking from your blog to the "Holy Experience" and reading the stories there.
Praise the Lord for your mom's health! That's so incredible! 12 years went by fast, for sure. What a blessing and answer to prayer!
Sharon, your comment means a lot! Thanks.
Oh, Becca, I don't know what to say...you are too kind! Your friendship is a blessing too...so glad I got to speak with your mom a couple of weeks ago when we were back in town. I was recently telling Dustin, these "Friends of the Family" are so special.
Thank God for your mom's twelve years. Truly, "His way is perfect."
