KayDee

This is KayDee. This picture makes me smile. It is what I think of when I am with KayDee. It is always a hula-hooping good time. Now, KayDee and I have had a lot of adventures in our lifetime friendship...let's see...beer tents, girls trips, antiques, weddings, nursing tents, New Mexico, boys (not worth mentioning) other boys (worth marrying), crashing millenium parties, wine, more wine, spa days, fondue, prayer, concerts (a lot), goals, cook-offs, Rose Bowls, movies, tattoos, more wine, turing older, getting better, reading a good book, cooking a good meal. We are bound by a generational friendship. KayDee and I can have fun doing NOTHING at all. I always like being with KayDee. She makes me smile.

But she is a friend of a lifetime. Why? Because she is my prayer warrior. A few weeks ago I was ina bad spot. It is KayDee who I called (as I often do)...I said "KayDee, I don't know what to do." and KayDee says "We can pray." I vividly remember, just moments before my wedding, KayDee prayed with me. I know that it is KayDee who lifts up my hurts, my fears, my life to the Lord. She is salt of the earth. She is a friend. She knows the savior. And she is such a blessing to me.

I don't know what I did to deserve this woman that I so admire that I get to call my friend. But I am so very thankful for her wisdom. Everyone should have a friend like KayDee. I am thankful , so very thankful for you dear one! May you always know how much I treasure our friendship.

God Bless You friend! I'm sitting here with tears in my eyes. Thanks for your very kind words.

Dear one, I feel the same about you! I so treasure having you as a fellow prayer warrior as well as an account partner and yes wine drinking buddy ;).

This is what I need today -- as both Eli and I have strep throat and not feeling quite up to snuff. Thanks for the beautiful rays of sunshine on my cloudy (snowing actually) day.
