I was born an only child, I think most of you know that.
I have often wondered through the years what form a sister might take...
Would she be wise and giving and loving?
Would she be faith-filled, inspiring and encouraging?
Would she be beautiful and talented and tireless?
If so, she would be my most beloved blogging sister
Debra of Common Ground.
Sweet Debra sent me a care package last week filled with love and work
from her own hands, including the gorgeous handmade vintage ornament shown above.
Just because. It wasn't my birthday, it was just what a sweet sister does when she is led of the Lord.
And this particularly lady is most definitely led.
She has begun a bible study on her second blog, A Day in the Life,
which is reaching hurting souls, those in need of healing,
those whose faith might have grown cold, and those searching for answers.
Debra welcomes all, regardless of denominational affiliation.
Going back to the package she sent, Debra didn't just send an ornament, she also sent this...
She made me a simply stunning bejeweled necklace
from a skeleton key and I am absolutely in love with it!
Yes, because it is beautiful,
but moreso because of the beautiful soul who thought to give it to me.
If you don't know Debra already, you need to.
She will welcome you with open arms on either of her blogs,
and best of all, she's someone who will say they'll pray for you and actually mean it!
Debra, I thank you so much,
and I am proud to call you my sweetest of sisters!

I would love to meet Debra face to face. When and if I ever get to, I know when I look into her eyes, I'll be seeing her heart.

Oh Anne, what a wonderful care package - and from the Beautiful Debra!!! I think we are allowed to adopt sisters - want me to help you file the paperwork? I betcha she wouldn't object to calling YOU her sister!!! We need to move her to Texas... think she would object to that?
;-)
Have a good one!!!

What a beautiful post! It's wonderful beyond words to have a sister like this (which I do!) and to have those friends who feel just like a sister (and I'm fortunate to have those too!). I'm one lucky lady! Thanks for introducing me to Debra. I'm off to visit her blogs....Sarah
It sure would be nice to pick our sisters. She sounds like a good one. What a nice thing for her to do. It makes me think.

Hey Anne. Well it seems your one of the many of us who LOVE Debra! Isn't she the most wonderful caring person you know. I love her to death. She makes you feel loved and cared for like you've know her your whole life. Her bible study means so much to me. Everything she sent you is almost as precious as she is, you lucky girl.
Hugs...Tracy
OK, I'm balling now...off to find my telephone. Love you so much dear Anne. You have just blessed me beyond words, but dang it... I hope that necklace isn't cockeyed!!! I'm thinkin' that halfway from my house to yours is probably Debbie's house so we should invite ourselves soon and just have a party!
Do you think Cat Daddy could stand all three of us at once? I guess we better ask Debbie...Te he!
Hugs and squeezes,
