HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUGAR!

I was deeply blessed today,to travel back to Aiken,and help in giving a surprise 60th birthday tribute for a dear,dear friend, and former business parter!
Teresa had prepared a lovely drop-in, sitdown dinner, with the help of Christian sisters,for some eighty guests, and it was lovely,folks!
We all expounded on the special qualities of Angela, (along with her "rare" quality of being "late");opened gifts,and rekindled old friendships! The dearest part of the whole celebration were the prayers that were given for Angela at the end of the night, and the realization of what an important part, the body of Christ had played in all our lives!....These were ladies that were my age when we first attended Bible studies together,back in 1975, and now, we were the older women, who were watching the children, and grandchildren attending, and watching them as they heard the godly advice from scripture.My,did it do my heart good to see them all there at this celebration.
We are all connected to each other, and that's as Christ so desired it to be. We are one in the fellowship, and it was evident this afternoon,that a body of believers could make quite a beautiful display of fellowship too!
I could tell you some crazy stories about Angela, but I'm savin' that for her 80th birthday party!
That is,unless the Rapture comes first!
