The very word “sisters” has come to mean a bond of soul mates that naturally provide love and support. Barbara Mathias
I’ve heard some of you say it and now I have experienced it, too, that when you meet your blogger sisters in person, you connect from the heart! Yesterday, Michele, from Beelieve You Can, organized a luncheon for AZ blogger sisters at Gooseberries Tea Room in Phoenix. I was excited to meet three of the bloggers I follow and to meet three new blogger sisters!

I love this picture because everyone looks so happy. It was a blessing to meet Michele in person; she is a woman who loves the Lord! To the right of Michele, it was great getting to know Sherry, who I can best describe as a sweetheart. To the right of Sherry is Donetta. Can you see that twinkle in her eye? She is fun loving! Then to her right is Marty, a woman of class. I eagerly checked out these three new blogger sisters and found their blogs to be similar to the neat things I perceived about them at lunch. It is amazing to me how our hearts connect in the blogosphere just like as if we were face to face.
It as a joy to be with you as well. Oh how desperately I wanted to hear your story. Those things that you have witnessed in him. Your so fortunate to have a husband who is one with you in the faith. rich that what it is just rich.
ReplyDeleteI crashed so hard today under an onslaught of accusation and just was left shipwrecked. My goodness when something is right the old adversary just wont tolerate it.
Well something must be really right. :)
First, I offer praise to our glorious Lord Jesus for all of these beautiful christian bloggy girlfriends! Then I want to move to AZ. How wonderful for y'all to meet face to face! Imagine the day we meet our Lord face to face!
ReplyDeleteMary, I loved meeting you in person. And you are just like you write. I felt like I could be great friends with you. We have much in common. I've been so busy I haven't had the chance to blog about our lunch but I will. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteOh Mary. You met with some great women. I know you all had such a blessed time!

Oh Mary!
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed meeting you. I have told Charlotte that I think we should get together at least every other month. Then we can really get to know each other, and enjoy the wonderful Christian fellowship that we each share. I just left with such a happy heart. Great post. Wonderful things to say about everyone Mary. You are a true blessing. Love, Sherry
So glad you were able to meet some of your blogging friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time you all had! I hope you can make this a regular fellowship time even after Michele leaves and comes back east. I was there in spirit. I love that tea room. I've been there several times over the years with Michele when I've come to visit.
ReplyDeleteBlessings.
