I may have o...Oh you shouldn’t have...really. LOL!<br /><br />I may have once understood the dynamic of blogging<br />relationships and friendships. It may have involved <br />likemindedness and common interests. It is rare to find <br />that “brew” with real life friends. Think of the numbers bloggers<br />have available to them! They could never achieve that with real<br />life. Then, if they are, in addition, Believers, they have the added<br />work of the Holy Spirit in those relationships. <br /><br />You have a lovely group of blogging buddies...Like a bouquet! 💐Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-18231570325142443622018-02-14T14:50:53.199-05:002018-02-14T14:50:53.199-05:00I agree with you, this blogging community is very ...I agree with you, this blogging community is very special! It is amazing to connect either in real life, or virtually with ladies that share so much in common. 11 years is a long time, but it has been a wonderful journey I agree! Many blessings to you today :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-18170576605165274142018-02-13T20:47:10.713-05:002018-02-13T20:47:10.713-05:00I think that is the one thing that surprised me th...I think that is the one thing that surprised me the most about blogging: the development of community! And our blog friends are <i>real</i> friends, even if we have not had the privilege to meet in person. We care about one another . . . we worry when someone goes missing . . . we pray when a friend going through hard times. <br /><br />There is one down side to that: It is hard to keep up sometimes! My life is busy and I don't always have time to visit and/or comment as much as I would like. Then I feel like a bad blog friend. Ugh. I wonder if other bloggers feel the same frustration? <br /><br />That said, my blogging friends are such a blessing in my life! I am SO glad to have met you through blogging!
