Friends....Golden Ones


Somedays just start right! Today I found a very special picture I want to share....my best friend and her family. She is blessed with 14 grandkids and I see some married grandkids already. We had so much fun growing up together. Her Aunt was my Moms' best friend growing up too, so we had so much in common due to that connection. As we grew up and got married (both to our High School sweethearrts), our families grew and seeing each other grew less. But, in our 20's we both found the Lord and then refound each other. In the early 90's she was in a terrible accident driving through the country in Illinois to a baby shower at their church. She was life flighted to Chicago and was in a coma for several weeks. She home schooled her 4 kids, was an excellent seamstress and always knew how to have fun. After she was able to come home, through many injuries and problems, she has continued to strive to be strong and gain strength in her life and living. She is amazing. She told me on the phone a couple years ago that God let her live so she could see all "these grandkids, Karen!".... God bless our brave friend in her journey! God Bless Rex, what a soul=mate who truly has been a faithful husband, Dad and Gramps. They just look so good together!!
Pray for us as we pack and move our things to Indiana, amazing how God provides, we have a house already to rent and jobs....be so good to be back nearer to family too.
Quilted Blessings! Karen
