Prayer group

For the past 3 1/2 years I have been honored to be a part of the best prayer group ever! God picked us to be together at a Women's Retreat almost four years ago and we have been meeting every month for at least 4 hours each time since then. God is so amazing in the way He has put the 5 of us together and how we have been there for each other, praying, listening, laughing and of course eating! This year we had our Christmas at our sweet Tonya's. She made us her fabulous potato soup and also the Amish Friendship Bread showed up, which was really good, it made me sad that my started didn't work out. I digress. Anyway, Tonya was an awesome host and we had a wonderful time. I love being around these girls, they are such a fun bunch and we are all so different, we each bring something unique to the group.

Here we are. Tonya, Jean, Me, and Marcy, our sweet Cindy is taking the picture, it would have been nice to get us all together, but we were too hungry to try to figure out the timer thing on my camera!

We all draw names to decided who buys who a gift. Jean is our practical girl and is not into the whole "presentation" of a gift. You need to read her blog to fully appreciate this statement. Its hilarious. Anyway, here she is trying to put some last minute touches on Marcy's gift while Marcy is in the bathroom!This is Marcy, and she is the sweetest thing ever! Jean bought her this super cute scarf and some precios votive holders.

Tonya had Jean's name and made her an awesome plaque with Jean's last name and some other great words describing her and her family, it was very cool. She also gave her a gift certificate to have one of our friends who cleans come clean her house. What a great gift!

This is Tonya. Isn't she cute, I just love her! Cindy got her some great photo coasters and in each one was a gift card to some of Tonya's favorite places. What a awesome gift!
This is our darling Cindy. I love this girl, I had her name and I love buying Cindy gift, gift giving and receiving gifts is Cindy and I's love language, so it is twice the fun buying for her! I got her some custom made coffee, a snowman mug, some cozy socks, and a reed difuser.

Marcy had my name and bought me a beautiful red calble knit sweater, I am so sad I can't wear it yet, the baby has to come out first!!!!

So, those are some of the most precious women I know, I love them all like they were my own flesh and blood sisters. Thank you Jesus for blessing my life with them! Merry Christmas Girls!

Hi Candy, We do have an awesome prayer group, don't we? Each one of you holds a very special place in my heart. I've learned a lot about life, love, and laughter from you girls. Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts you gave me for Christmas! You know me wo well and it showed in the items you chose to give me. Coffee!! HELLO!! Love the coffee!!! The cute snowman mug, the super soft and snuggly sock/slippers, and the wonderful smelling reed diffuser, all are perfect gifts for me! I love you Candy!! I can't wait to meet Ella.
