For Sandy. . .

There isn't much more of a blessing in ones life than having a woman of God in her life that she can lean on and learn from and that is what Sandy has been to me. For those who don't know this lady, she is a gracious kind loving woman who never draws attention to herself but demonstrates daily a life devoted to God. She is an amazing Mom and Grandmother. If you see her with children you can see her patience, kindness and gentleness. I only wish I had an ounce of the patience she has. She has taught me so much about parenting, she has taught me basic life skills, like cooking, she has been a true mentor to me, guiding me and helping me as I continue to mature. More than anything though, she is my friend. She is loyal and her support is something I count on. She is very wise and so I am always able to seek her counsel and trust her voice. She is one of the best listeners I know. She is loyal and if you have her as a friend it means your life is rich. This is shorter than my normal blogs, but not because there isn't a lot to say, there is so much, but she probably would already be aghast that I am writing this at all. She would prefer that I keep it short and sweet. So my blessing today is for my dear friend Sandy who I love very much, who has taught me so much, and whose role in my life cannot be equaled. I would be lost without her influence, and without her.
