FRIDAY FAVORITES #2

Going to participate in my 2nd Friday Favorites.  Go here to see others who are participating.

My favorite things have never been "things" although I, like all of us, certainly have many "things" I value, treasure and have sentimental ties to.

But my FAVORITE things would have to be people.  I have been blessed with so many wonderful people who have touched my life and added so much joy, happiness, instruction, fun, and spiritual growth to my life. 

 Among these favorite people are the 17 people who are part of the WOW Woman bible study group that meets at my home every Tuesday evening. 14 of us are local and 4 are in other parts of the world.  (I know your wondering why 14 + 4 doesn't add up to 17!!!!  Well I am in this local group of 14.)

 Here are 10 of us who were present the night this picture was taken.  Back-left to right - Sandra - Britney - Cindy - Kathy - Betty.  Front row- Connie - Thelma - Wantha - Susan - Jeanne.

Talking about FAVORITES one of my favorite scriptures is

           Proverbs 27:17 – “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”

These woman definitely sharpen me each and every week and I am so thankful for each one of them.    If you don't belong to a home Bible Study group you are missing a BIG blessing. 

FRIDAY FAVORITES - My Beautiful Angel

On May 4, 2007, shortly after beginning my blog, I began to participate in what was called Show & Tell. The last time I participated was December 3, 2010.  I loved not only participating in showing something of mine but seeing all the items others would show.

I was delighted yesterday (through my blog friend Mari)to discover Friday Favorites which was just started this month.

So in keeping with celebrating my up coming 5th bloggoversary, on January 27th, I am re posting that very first Show & Tell post.

This is my BEAUTIFUL Angel .  She was a Christmas present to me this past Christmas from my daughter, Jacque.  (that would have been Dec.25, 2006 so she has graced our home for the past 5 years)

I was stunned at her beauty and delicacy holding the gentle dove in one hand and the other resting near her arm. Her lovely blue eyes and faint pink lips. Her slender hands and fingers. The filigree of her wings.

At 17 1/2" tall she is one of my largest angels. The picture doesn't capture it, but she is totally white and silver with silver specks on the doves, wings and her flowing dress.

She has a very prominent place in our home and hearts.

Go here to find out how to participate in the drawing for the upcoming give-away on January 27th to celebrate Bloggoversary #5 with me.
