A Hidden Treasure

"Clothe yourself with compassion, Kindness, humility, Gentleness and Patience." Col 3:12

Oh such a rare and wonderful treasure found. I remember reading a book about a map to a hidden treasure which when they followed the map to the chest, there was no treasure..It all ended up with each of them having a hidden in each other, a really cheesy book. But what I'm trying to say about about this is that Jill is such a rare and wonderful person placed in my lap. If to be honest when I met her almost 7 years ago, I didn't plan for having her as one of my closest friends in my life. But she is and she became one. Life is like that. Jill is weird, just starting things off there. Her weirdness makes me laugh and comment how weird she is but it's quite enjoyable to be around. She's sincere and affirmative. I think they go together beautifully. Like many of the other people I have talked about she's quite caring, has such a sweet tender caring heart for those dear in her heart. She has God's tender heart. She's a patient listener, and when I mean by that...Most people listen but while listening their brains try to figure out a answer to fix or give advice before the person finishes so then when it's their time to speak they do...I do this all the time... But she waits until you're finished and then when it's her time she speaks. When I started writing I keep thinking about a line in a song that I used to listen when I was middle school aged child and It in some way seemed to fit with Jill. "It just takes one to step out from the crowd and show what Love's about."  

Sweet, Tenderhearted....Maybe a little Baddass...(I'd insert a winky face if I could)  God's heart... Sometimes I look at her and think back to when my first gesture of accepting her was when I asked her to be my mentor after the loss of one who had been mentoring me. She has helped me in so many ways and shown me that Love comes in many forms...Even though the world portrays love so differently.
