~ thankful for the visits we've enjoyed from "old" friends during the past two weekends...first, from Steve and Claire, whom we knew during our San Diego days when they were single and we only had one child...
...and now we're on the verge of having four children, and they're married and have a handsome son James and a beautiful daughter Brielle...time marches on, bringing changes galore!
~ this weekend, we've had the privilege of hosting our friend Bernhard whom we knew in Israel but who is from and now lives in Austria...he is in the States for a biotech conference of some sort (when he described it, I heard the word "optics" but the rest of it went right over my head!), and we're so glad that he was able to come a few days early and stay with us...our only regret is that his wife and daughters couldn't come, too
It's GOOD to reconnect with old friends, to remember together the places we've been and the people we were and to see how God is blessing us and them now and moving us into the future.
With this trend of weekend visitors, I wonder who will be coming next weekend? ;)
Technical note: Mister Linky is no longer available like it used to be--specifically, it's no longer available to those of us cheapskates who don't want to spend a dime on our blogs. We'll spend hours of our time, but not a cent of our money. :) Supposedly, this is a "temporarily unavailable" kind of situation; but we'll see how that goes. If, in the future, I can get Mister Linky for free, I'll certainly include it for those who like to link to it. For now, however, if you do a Simple Sunday post, feel free to leave a comment; and I'll be happy to click over to your post and check it out! :)

Friends are just fantastic! What a great God, to create us for and allow us to live in relationship.
Today, I'm thankful for girlfriends.
