Best Friends

Another Birthday

for Julie's contacts

Today is the birthday of my childhood best friend. We were friends from the very beginning of first grade. We didn't do anything without the other and were as comfortable in the other's home as we were our own. We liked the same boys and shared a passion for Bobby Sherman. If we got into trouble it was only because we had cooked up some scheme together. Our disagreements were few and far between and we told each other everything.

We were attendants in each other's weddings, and I wanted nothing more than to live near each other and raise our children as best friends. That dream was dashed when M and I moved across the country after my second baby was born.

We still try to keep in touch, though our lives are busy and family responsibilities take up a good deal of her time. I'm sure she will be celebrating with her family tonight, but I will try to call her just the same, and when I do I hope I will find our conversation as easy as it ever was.

Welcome

to Maestoso Grazioso.

Maestoso Grazioso are musical terms that mean "with majesty and grace". "I am a daughter of the King who is not moved by the world because my King is with me and goes before me. I do not fear because I am His".

I'm here to share how God is leading in my life, spend time with friends and perhaps make some new ones. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, homemaker, sister, friend, church organist and piano/organ teacher. My favorite past-times are, playing the church organ, teaching piano and organ, scrapbooking, card making, artist trading cards and of course, blogging.

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phl 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
II Chronicles 5:13-14 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:
“He is good; his love endures forever.”
Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud, 14 and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. Don't ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet. ~ Audrey Hepburn
