A Summer Blessing
Jun 30th, 2008 by Jenn
I just realized something tonight - God brought me this thought - or maybe it was I just finally took time to do some talking with Him and I heard this:
“My gift to you this summer is the gift of relationships.”
Wow!! It is so true, and I am so thankful! In the time frame of about 5 days, I had the opportunity to have lunch with a gal and her daughters with whom I have been building a friendship over the past year; I got to go to a baby shower of another new friend who is the wife of one of Ryan’s co-workers; I got to be a part of a long-time and very dear friend’s new business adventure (will tell you more about this later); got to go to dinner with someone I know mostly through blogging; and tonight I got to “vent” on the phone with a co-worker about changes at the agency, in a friendship-bonding moment.
All of these connections look so random but they have completely refreshed my spirit!! Being able to slow down this summer, not being so scheduled, and looking for ways to have fun have brought connections and opportunities to share life with some precious people. And I am so thankful.
That was the most I’d eaten in over a week. I ate the other half the next day. Then I went to Chilinos and hurt myself. But I started eating again. Thanks.
I almost made it back into my size 38 jeans tho. (grin)
“Friends are the family we make for ourselves”
Glad you are getting to have some “you” time-
It does feed the soul!
Sure beats runnin’ through the sprinkler, right?
Friendships are huge.. relationships last….
