Last night I was with friends, catching up on summer adventures and dining on East Indian food. I felt myself relax into the evening, having truly missed these conversations this summer while we traveled away from each other. There is something about friends whose presence can give me a heart full of joy.
I heard Chuck Swindoll talk about grace the other day on the radio, and how we do not get it. I think this is true. We have no clue how much we are graced but as I sat there with my two friends, I knew how well grace was operating and blessing me.
Tonight I went with seven other women to a play about female immigrants to Winnipeg and the trials they had to undertake. I realized at some point that I was the only Canadian in our group. Most were Latinas, plus one American. One of the women in the play is part of a small group that I am involved with and so we came out to support her. Tonight made me think about friends and grace too.
When was the last time you thought about how much joy your friends bring you?
Peace,
Suzanne
