For Patti......With Love

For Patti .... With Love

This beautiful magnolia tree has a special meaning for one of my friends.
Kim and I wanted you to know...it is still standing!



Psalm 96:12 "Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein; then shall all of the trees of the wood rejoice"

You have no way of knowing how much this means to me this morning!! I haven't seen a leaf on a tree or any green grass for about 6 weeks now. I am NOT a winter person, and it is the barren trees and lack of greenery that I detest SO much. Really, it does something to depress my spirit. Unlike other people that suffer with Seasonal Disorder, it isn't the diminished light that bothers me...it's the lack of green, the lack of leaves.

Anyhow, I LOVE this picture. I'm so glad "my" tree is still there.

Thank you SO much for this wonderful gift. (When I clicked on your blog and saw it, I immediately started weeping. My husband is getting ready for a craft show, but I had to go track him down so he could see this beautiful gift as well).

Even more than the picture, though, I'm thankful for the friendship that prompted it. The tree WILL one day be gone, burned up with this earth, but the friendship of two sweet ladies is eternal. You both are a HUGE blessing and I thank God for the friendship he's given me in you.

Love,
Patti

My mother in law had a magnolia in front of her house. She and my father in law are both gone now. Magnolias always make me think of her. We donated one to our local arboretum when she died in her name. Lovely tree...they mean a lot to me as well.

This was so sweet of you to do. I don't know that I have ever seen a Magnolia tree. I am assuming that it smells nice, but I don't know.

I have never moved out of my own state (except for once for the summer), but I know there are many things I'd miss...my friends most of all!

Congrats to all the lovely ladies who take the award. I do not know all of them but I know they must be sweet sisters in Christ in order to win your awards!
