Friendship Friday

No recipes today. Actually we went out last night to try a new mexican food restaurant. Was pretty good, but still just a little shy of being our greasy Tex Mex we love so well, but since I had to go get cholestrol checked this morning, I guess skipping on a little grease was a good thing. It has been a very emotional week. My dad had a stroke and I will be leaving to go to Corpus to see about our next step in caring for he and my mom. This has shown me just how much Christs makes a difference in my life. The outpouring of friendship has been overwhelming to both Randy and I. Old friends have called us, emailed us, had prayer for my mom and dad, and texts began to come in at 4:45 a.m. a couple of days ago just to let me know they were praying for him and us. An added blessing has been the kindness and love being shown to us from people here in our new church; people who have only known us for about a month. Some have already said that they will be having Randy over for dinner or did I need a ride to the airport? What could they do to help? Others have called everyday to check on me and how I was handling this situation. This has truly touched my heart to see how the Holy Spirit reaches out to us, through precious people who open their hearts during times like these. Thanks to each of you who have prayed, called, emailed. It has made me realize how I need to be better at reaching out to others when they are going through tough times. This has been a real learning time for both Randy and I. We have learned that not only were we so blessed in Texas, but God did go before us and sought out “those whom would answer His call” to encourage us and to bless us. We love and appreciate each of you and thank you for the love you are showing us. Today, Friday, I have given praises and thanks to the Lord for precious friendships, old and new….Trudy
