Emeline is taking over my blog today. Her dear Friend Reily recently had a birthday. Emeline, along with the rest of her class was asked to write a sentence or two on "The nicest thing about you is" for Reily.
........"You are a good firend. You are kind. You are very funny. Yoo say stuff in a kind way. You share you fellings with me. You are always thare for me. Yoo share. Yoo never say mean things about me. You always try your hardest. You are very responsbel. You ask good questions. You give me good addvice about hard stuff in my life. You are always fun. You agree very easely. You always comfort me. You don't say nagtiv things to me. You love God so much. You never just leave me alone. You always let me play with you. You are very respectful. You stand up for me. You are very understanding. You are kind when mabe I am sometimes mean to you. You always firgive me in a kind way. You give me second chances. If I am mad or sad you treat me nice-lea. You look out for me. You keep your promises. You try your best all the time. You always give the glory to God. You help me grow more in God. You help give me more strangth in God. You hold me to my promeses. You help me when I need it. You don't say "no I will not help you". You always try to ceep our frenendship together. You alwasy do what is best for me. You keep me out of trobel. You always incereg (encourage) me. You don't try to get me into trebel. You don't spred the word if I told you a secret. You don't want, you give. You don't say nagtive things about stuff that I draw or pant (paint) or give to you. Insted you say "thank you" or you say "that is nice" or you say "I love it!" Anyway, thank you for being my friend!
Love, Emeline"..............
Wow, as a mom I pray for good friends for Emeline and I pray Emeline is a good friend. "Thank you Jesus for answering my prayers!!"
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves". Romans 12:9-10
"Dear Children, let us not love with words or tongue, but in action and in truth" 1 John 3:18
I pray all you ladies and girls out there have a "Reily" in your life!!
Blessings,
Debbie

Well, to tell you the truth, Deb, I think you have been a Reily to me! Thanks, xo, Laurie
p.s. I wasn't even tempted to fix Emeline's spelling, I love it just the way it is...
Dear Emeline (Mommy's Guest Blogger):
What a beautiful way to honor Reily for her birthday! I couldn't think of any nicer way! May God bless you for your kind and encouraging heart!
Reily sounds like an absolutely exceptional friend in Jesus! Wow...as I read all the things she is to all of her friends, it makes me want to be that kind of friend, too. Friends are truly gifts from God to be handled with such gentleness, love and truth! Please tell Reily what a great example she is and that your Aunt Sharon is so thankful you have such a precious friend.
Emeline, I am sure you are just as precious to Reily! God has made you unique and special.
Love,
Aunt Sharon :)
As Reily's Mom, I was so blessed by Emeline's comments, as was Reily. As I mentioned to you, when the papers came home from school, there were 22 pages of one-liners, and then there was Emeline's--5 pages of hand written, deep, introspective, kind, loving words. It helped me to see my daughter in a different light. I've joked that I couldn't have come up with 5 pages of comments about my own daughter!
I think it's a testimony to you and Stephen that Emeline has such a loving heart and is aware of the Lord's presence in herself and others. She's a wonderful little girl.
