Follow Your Heart
One of my greatest treasures is my
long-lasting friendships. I call them
oak tree friends. Oak wood is strong and
holds up to the test of time, beautifully displayed in an old piece of
furniture with time worn lines. Laughter
and hardship give us our beauty lines and strength to endure. If you are an oak tree friend, each of you
can pick up where you left off even when years have passed the loyalty
lasts.
Several of my dearest friends sent
unexpected packages and I am sure you could hear me squeal when opening each
bundle. Enclosed in a small box wrapped
in colored tissue paper I found vintage lace, ribbons, and vintage handmade
cloths. She followed her heart sending a
little note of encouragement. A package
of fabrics arrived one afternoon in the winter bringing sunshine into the dark
of the day. She followed her heart
sending delightful buttons. Another sent
a box of vintage fabrics, buttons, and lace.
She followed her heart and asked if she could send more to inspire. The marvelous part is they all coordinated
with each other. When we follow our
heart, amazing things transpire and not forgotten but treasured and shared.
The heart felt counsel of a friend
is a sweet as perfume and incense
Proverbs 27:9
