A Perfect Blend of Friendship Award

My friend, Kim, gave me this lovely award this morning. She has become my bloggin buddy, and I do consider her my friend. This is a lovely award. It encompasses those things that are important to true friendship and I can't wait to sit down and share a cup of something warm and creamy with her one day!



Now this award isn't just any award, it comes with a questionnaire. Here goes:

1. Do you have the same friends since childhood? Some. A lot of my childhood friends were my cousins. I have a very large family and dozens of first cousins. I also have a lot of friends from high school in Texas. We keep in touch frequently via the internet and letters and Christmas cards.

2. What do you value most about your friends? Sincerity.

3. Are your friends your sounding boards? Maybe when I was younger. And maybe every now and then now. But for the most part, I have learned to take everything to the cross and if I truly can't leave things there, I bring them to my beloved and he walks me back to the cross and helps me to nail whatever is burdening me there once and for all.

4. What is your favorite activity to share with your friends? Going to the movies or going out to dinner or going out in the boat. Boating is probably the best time with friends as there is so much laughter!

Now to pass this on to five friends.........

Jill @ Forever n Ever n Always. She just touches my heart. We have immediately connected and have many things in common. I truly can see her and I holding those steamy cups too one day.

Stephanie @ My Sacrifice of Praise. I have known Stephanie a long time. She is a true friend. She and I have actually held those steamy cups together when we both used to live in Vero Beach together. Though we are apart, we are always close through our bonds as sisters in Christ.

Leslie @ Do You Weary Like I Do. Leslie and I have sons the same age and what can I say about a girl that loves to go to football games with her guys like I do? She is a treasure. She writes as if she's been peeking in my windows! Good stuff there!

Mimi @ He & Me + 3. Mimi confirmed that she is my long lost twin with her top ten list this morning. Honestly, she is a sweet sister and it has been my joy to get to know her in this bloggy world. I look forward to her smile.

Denise @ Shortybears Place. Denise never fails to leave an encouraging word. She will sometimes drop me an email to say she has just prayed for me. I am thankful for that. I know she doesn't live in Florida but one day she and I will be feasting at the banqueting table together.

You know, I could go on and on about some more fabulous sisters out there that have become my bloggy friends. The rules say five...so theres my five. I'm so glad that tomorrow is Sherry's "You've been a friend" Wednesday, so I'm looking forward to honoring more friends.

Happy Tuesday ladies. May the Lord bless you today!
