For several years Gail has been meeting three other ladies for lunch on a regular basis. The lunches usually take two to three hours. Obviously there is more to the meal than just what they had to eat.
They are called "The Rosey Friends" because they always keep their conversation in a positive light.
Each time they would choose a different restaurant, but it didn't seem to matter where they met, the conversation always flowed.
Last July one of the Rosey Friends moved to Tennessee after her husband retired from Dow Chemical. This week they came back to Michigan to visit family and, of course, the Rosey friends wanted to pick up where they left off. On Tuesday morning, they gathered along with their husbands at the Palpant home for a breakfast and good conversation. Family and the blessings of the Lord were the topics of discussion around the table. The couple that had moved to Tennessee took a trip to the Holy Land this past April. The account of their experience was fascinating and spellbinding.
As Proverbs says "iron sharpens iron", it was a special time of interaction that was encouraging and affirming. It really confirmed the importance of relationships, and how they can have great impact on one's life. Barbra Streisand sang, "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world". We certainly appreciate the people that God has brought into our lives, which makes us very blessed.
Blessings and Encouragement,
Paul, Gail, Patsy, and Penny
P.S. (This includes Patsy and Penny as dogs are a man's best friend.)
