This is a "selfie" that took almost 35 years to get!  How sweet it is to reunite with friends.  This dear couple were my home away from home during my college years.  They provided love, a safe setting, spiritual encouragement and guidance as well as nurturing for my very hungry heart through some of the most vulnerable years of my life.  Their example to me of the love of Christ made an impression that has lasted an entire life time.  

Today we were able to take a picture of us together once again after all those years.  They live in Newberg, Oregon and though miles, time and many experiences have been between us, there remains a bond that has extended from heaven to earth that I am sure will glide right into eternity.  Sometimes God just creates the ties that bind and nothing is able to separate us from that supernatural kind of love!  Tonight my heart is warmed and swollen by new memories and the smiling footprints left in the sands of my heart.
