If I could have planned the perfect get together, Monday would have been it. It was one of those days that you know is wonderful as it's happening but still manages to grow sweeter upon reflection.
This particular combination of ladies was the perfect blend of tender conversation, shared secrets and hilarious laughter. The funny thing is that I have only know these women a matter of months and they have touched my life forever.
Lucky for me there are smart phones and instagram!
I borrowed (snap-shot...thanks Pam for showing me how to steal pictures, lol) most of these pictures from the ladies that attended. It was so bizarre to hear them say that my home and our get together was pinterest worthy.
Like I said, just a wonderful day all the way around.
I planned this "Artful Afternoon" for months and to see how it blessed these women (who ministered to me at our women's retreat at a time of intense vulnerability for me) was so gratifying.
Stacey, Karen, Pam, Jackie and Melissa...thank you for the opportunity to wash your feet and serve you. The day was such a blessing to me.
xo, Patty

ReplyDeleteYes you are pin worthy. Love the project.....I can't see enough of these and I have even made some. Your friends and your home are sweet.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Patty! I love it when I have those kinds of experiences. Which is exactly how I felt when we all got together last year before Christmas. Such a beautiful time!!!

You truly did wash our feet, and provided refreshment to the depths of our creative souls, our need for sisterhood, and the sweet basic needs of the tummy and the tongue. Need I say Yum? Warmest Hugs and Love, my Friend. Thank you!

ReplyDeletePriceless!!!
I, too, forget to take photos once the guests (friends) arrive!!!
Then, I think of Jesus Mother, Mary. . .and Mary pondered all these thing in her heart!!!
Of course, that was before digital cameras, smart phones and the like, right???
