Some Friends Are For a Lifetime

Day 247 of Photo Inspirations — Some Friends Are For a Lifetime
“Some friends are for a reason, some are for a season and some are for a lifetime.  That’s who these sweet women are — Life Timers…..and to think we’ve only known each other a couple of years or less.

 What we all have in common is our love for the community that we live in — Hyde Park at Tulsa Hills — we met when we moved here — and now we do life together.  And, we serve as resident representatives when visitors stop by to check out the community.  Those visitors get our first-hand testimonies about the blessing it is to live here.

The pretty lady in the pink is the daughter of the Developer of our community and she has been second to none in providing the best in experiences here.

To our surprise, Vicki is quite crafty.  So much so, that she gathered lovely vases, dishes, bowls, platters and other glass items and made each of us glass bird feeders.  Each one individually created for each of us — thus my photo inspirations for today.

Yesterday, we celebrated Vicki’s birthday with a yummy lunch at Napa Flats, and we gave her a lovely Rustic Cuff bracelet — a token of our love and appreciation for what she’s done for us.  

This little band of women — are all very different — all from various backgrounds:  Private Investigator, Voice & Piano Teacher, Nurse, Realtor, Artist, Physical Ed Teacher, Owner of a Bed & Breakfast,  etc., but we all have this in common — we have all been fashioned by God from the same clay and His plan included our friendships.  Each of us have been on very unique and exciting adventures in our lives — now we get to be on exciting adventures together in this season.  

You, me, her, them, us, we are made from the same clay. If we keep our eyes on the Artist, we’ll realize He specially designed us with our own uniqueness.  We won’t need to be the same, we won’t need to compare, we can just enjoy His grand scale of color and texture and DNA that each of us has.

We can be in awe of the incredible masterpiece He creates, and be delighted when He puts us in the same time and space together — to be here for each other — on this amazing LIFE ADVENTURE!
