May. 1, 2008 - Day EARLY - Can't wait --- ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY - CONTEST - GIVE AWAY

 
 

1 year ANNIVERSARY – CONTEST – GIVE AWAY!!

It’s been one year on May 29th since I began blogging! – Wow! – Where does the time go? --- It goes quickly – that’s where. 

  To have good friends is one of the highest delights in life; to be a good friend is one of the noblest undertakings.” – Unknown

 I would like to host a contest/give away --- in celebration of my one year of blogging and in HONOR of FRIENDSHIP!  I am a person who values FRIENDS very highly.  I take friendship seriously – I invest in those that I call – FRIEND.  FRIENDSHIP, to me - is a relationship of TRUST – and OPEN COMMUNICATION and being able to GENUINELY and AUTHENTICALLY SHARE YOUR HEART! 

Share with me here on my blog about the person you have had as your OLDEST/LONGEST friend(tell me how long you have been friends, when and where you became friends, and why that friendship is highly valued to you!)

This contest is going to be a LONG one --- I don’t get a lot of “traffic” on my blog – and that’s okay…but; I’d like to see how many I can get to take part in the contest. 

I’d LOVE it – if you – my BLOGGER  FRIENDS – would share on YOUR BLOG – about the contest I am having.  The contest will run from APRIL 29th to May 29th - Please, help get the word out to your FRIENDS - J - Thank you!

On MAY 29th – I will pick a winner – and announce who it is – and send a FRIENDSHIP PACKAGE for you to enjoy –The package will be filled with:  a prim stitching about friendship, a book on friendship, a gift card to FRIENDLY’s and a few other surprises for you to discover when you receive the FRIENDSHIP PACKAGE.

 The friend I have had for the longest time is:  NANCY.  Nancy and I have been friends for 34 years – (since KINDERGARTEN).  We have been through our “whole life” together.  --- She lives in PA and we don’t see each other as often as we would like – but; our FRIENDSHIP has remained tried and true and solid --- We can pick up like we haven’t missed a day.  We call each other not only FRIEND – but; SISTER.  ~ Charity

Hi Charity
Love your contest. I will set up a link soon on my blog.
My best friend is Christine. She and I (and our husbands) have been friends for over 20 years. More than 1/2 my lifetime. She is as close to me as my sisters. I talk to her everyday. I've shared many secrets with her over the years. I'd trust her with my life. I did trust her with my 2 older girls lives when we went to China over 2 years ago to pick up Michelle. She kept them company many days so that they wouldn't miss us so much. She assisted them to call us and she and her husband even stayed in my home so that the girls would be in their own enviroment. We've gone through many good and bad times and she and her husband have always been there !

Thanks for stopping by and letting me know about your contest. I will blog about it this week.

My best friend and I have known each other for over 16 years. We met in 9th grade and have been joined at the hip ever since. We have lived in different states for the last 7 years, but we talk on the phone daily.

I have come to know that friend choices can make or brake you. My prayer is that God will bring a true friend to each of my children and that they will always be blessed with good friends throughout their lifetime.

Don't forget ladies - I'd like to know about the friend you have had the longest/oldest...not necessarily your best friend - If that's the same person...that's fine...

*I'm just really drawn to how and why a friendship endures over a long period of time...

Thanks - Charity

May. 5, 2008 - Friends Forever
Posted by nikowa
I have been friends with Regina since I moved to her "neighborhood" in 1989, so that's a total of 19 years! I was 8 years old at the time (now I'm 27). We went through middle school, high school, marriages, children, jobs-everything together. We've seen each other fail-we've seen each other soar & we've always been there for each other during both times and everything in between. She is my best friend & we still keep in touch even though we now live many miles apart.

Hi my dear, thanks for stopping by and letting me know about this...


My best friend is Jamie... We met each other when we were 4 years old and from the first moment we were sisters at heart... however, when we were both 7 both of our households moved in different dirrections, being that young, we didn't keep in touch...
I cried often to God how much I missed her through the years and never forgot her...
The first day of 6th grade, I sat down in english... turned to look at the girl beside me when we both gasped saying "JAMIE, ALLANA"... and we have been best friends since, picking right up where we left off at age 7... so with the time cut out of when we moved away from each other... we have been friends 22 years and counting :o)
We have seen each other through a lot, as both of us at some point have made really bad choices in our lives, and yet here we stand together saying "It doesn't matter, I love you and will stand by you through it all"... And out of all of our friends, we are the only two who have held on for life!

What a fun contest!!! This has brought so many memories of Jamie back :o)

my oldest friend (other than my mother) is a *girl* I met when I was 4 and she was 5. 29 years later and 1700 miles apart we still *talk* via email almost daily. We have obviously been through a lot int he last 29 years and I am glad that God gave us each other :) We would spend all summer together basically so we called each other summer sisters, we still call each other sister and each others moms mom :) We met at a private school that we attended together and that my mom worked at in VA :)

May. 12, 2008 - My friend...
Posted by mom26kidz
My friend's name is Hope. We have been friends for 29 years! Since we were 9yrs old and in 3rd grade! Her husband and my husband are also best friends, so we get together a lot. Having her in my life is such a blessing. We almost lost her this year when she became very ill and went into congestive heart failure. We were so worried. But, God heard our prayers and she is doing better now. I am so glad to have her in my life.

May. 14, 2008 - Hello there!
Posted by dalynnrmc
I found your blog because you're online now! LOL I just opened my blog yesterday, just posted my first post today... but I'll play your game! :)

I suppose that the friend I've had the longest is my mother. I don't often think of her as a friend, really, but I suppose that she is. My husband is my BEST friend, but my mother has been my supporter and confidante for much longer than he. I have a strange urge to tell her even silly things; I called her today to tell her that we joined Sam's Club. She has her faults, and there have been times that I've sworn I'd never talk to her again... but still, she's my mother - my friend.
*shrug* What ya gonna do? LOL Forgive and forget, I suppose....

May. 19, 2008 - My Oldest/Longest Friend
Posted by homekeeper31
The close friend I have had the longest outside of my family would have to be Trina. I'm not sure when we met exactly, but she and I met at youth camp. We live several states away and only correspond through letters now, but we can just pick up where we left off when we do get together or write. As Anne of Green Gables fans, we are "kindred spirits".

May. 23, 2008 - My sister, My friend
Posted by leahlovesebooks
I would have to count my sister as my best friend. She has always been there for me. We don't live in the same state and actually I think that is what keeps us so close. We talk on the phone at least once a week-thank you Lord for unlimited long distance. I love visiting my family in Ohio and hanging out with my sister-staying up late into the night talking. She knows all my faults and loves me for who I am. Growing up we shared toys and clothes. It was great sharing a bedroom where we would talk until one of us fell asleep.

I corrected the information in my entry. Although it really doesn't change my personal entry since my friends have all been my friends for about the same amount of time. Granted my sister and I are only 14 months apart, but I cannot remember much before the age of 6 so that's why I say they've been my friends for about the same amount of time.

May. 27, 2008 - My Friend....
Posted by TrainUpAChild
My best friend & I met on the first day of 8th grade. Her name is Lisa... & her family had just moved to Texarkana that summer. They lived 2 houses down from us, & quickly joined our church. From that time on, we were totally inseparable. At school, church, & community...it wasn't "Missy" - or "Lisa"- it was always "Missy & Lisa". We had a wonderful Jr. High & High School life. So many memories...TONS of laughter. We loved to laugh...& to this day, still do. She now lives in San Antonio, TX. She's a graphic artist & works in marketing for Schlitterbahn (awesome water park). God knew what he was doing when He made us friends so long ago. Her hubby was recently diagnosed with MS... & I've been blessed to be able to answer any questions or offer any advice I might have. I love my friend... as well as my many friends in my life now... whether it be right here in Texas... or across the big wide world web~!! :)
Congratulations on your blog-a-versary Charity!!
Love you Sister...
