Five Minute Friday: If you met me . . .


GO:

If you met me . . .

You'd see . . .

a rather rotund, short and somewhat insecure woman who often feels like a school girl

a straight not curly haired brunette with a smattering of grays in the mix

a pair of hazel green eyes seeking to connect with you and assure you that I'm listening

a face lit up with a toothy smile at your arrival

a kindred spirit seeking to welcome you, encourage you and nuture our friendship into a long and lasting one

If you met me . . .

You'd hopefully see . . .

a kind hearted soul who loves Jesus

a wife passionately in love with her husband, longing to submit to and care for him

a mother desperately trying to raise two boys to be loving, faithful men of God

a daughter grateful for her loving parents and especially her best-friend, her mother

a sister loving her brother and his family

If you met me. . . 

You'd also see . . . 

that I love to collect old things

that I love frozen cokes, tea, coffee and french fries

that I love flowers, birds and anything to do with farm life

that I . . .  love . . .

STOP.

  4. hmmm reading this is so comforting, you seem so warm and friendly. I like your comment about the grey hair I have a few of those now too. I am also a mommy to 2 boys. What is a frozen coke, it sounds really good :)

  5. I HAVE met you and consider you one of my most cherished friends (hubby too, but don't tell him that. Don't want him to have a big head!) I love your blogs!

  6. Thank you for all those kinds words! Had I had more than 5 minutes you would have also learned that: If you met me . . . I can be very forgetful and may not always remember your birthday or anniversary. That I am a worry wort and will rethink everything I ever said to you, hoping that I haven't said anything wrong. If you met me, you'd know that I don't always say the right things at the the right time. I can be a bit of a nervous Nelly and it might take 1 or 2 times before I agree to go do something. If you met me, you'd also know that I am far from perfect and stand in need of God's grace on a daily basis. If you met me, despite my imperfections, I think we'd be very good friends. Friendships are the flowers in life's garden.
