New Friends

Date July 10, 2006

This past weekend, I had the honor of hosting Robin M and Chris M in our home. We’ve developed a virtual friendship over the past year that is now officially a flesh and blood friendship. We’ve eaten together, talked together, worshiped together, and even enjoyed a cool pool on a hot day together.

We are now friends as well as Friends, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have a connection with two unprogrammed Friends in which we can discuss life with Jesus as we follow God together. I’ll write more later, but for now, this is a public “thank you” to Robin and Chris for taking the risk to visit us in Newberg and join us for worship. I’m richer because of it.

    Oh and how I wish it could have been a seven blogger snapshot! I bet that picnic table saw some good fellowship that day.

    Heck, I wish it could have been an eight blogger snapshot… or twelve… or…. Well, I am simply green with envy, regardless of whether or not envy is a suitable trait for a Quaker to embody.

    Glad it was such a great time.

    Blessings,
    Liz, The Good Raised Up
