I had a great day yesterday.
I spent the day with Melody and Jane. We grew up together. We were babies together at old 1st church. We spent the nights at each other's homes. Melody and Jane went to the same college together, Jane and I lived together just before I got married. We have lots of memories together. Jane lives in Pennsylvania and comes home every summer. The last couple of nights she has stayed at Melody's.
Yesterday, after Melody's appointment, I went home with her and spent the rest of the day with my forever friends. Being female - we talked ALOT!!
Here are some of our topics.........
Husbands and marriage (between the 3 of us - we have over 60 years of marriage!)
Children (between the 3 of us - we have 11 children ranging in ages from 19 to 5!)
Jon and Kate plus 8
Music (we love the new Point of Grace song "How we live")
Home decorating
Cars (yes, I know that's a surprise since we are females!)
Our struggles
The time was getting late and I needed to drive almost an hour home and I hugged and said good-bye. As I was driving home, it dawned on me that my day was a glimpse of Heaven. We talked, laughed and didn't cry. There will be no tears in Heaven. Plus, we will spend eternity with the One who loved us so much to suffer for us so we can live.

What a precious time together!
Times like these with friends mean more than you even realize at the time. You'll think about these conversations over and over in the days to come...and smile.
So glad you took the time.
Becky, What a sweet posting about your events of the day. How neat that you have 2 forever friends like that. It is hard for me to comprehend how it would be to have friends that have been friends with continual connection since a baby. I guess I always feel like a transplant. But you've reminded me that in heaven, I won't be a transplant! How cool is that? You were an awesome friend to me today, and I'm so happy to say that! Love, Rachel
