I shared this prediction with friends on Sunday night prior to heading to mass. As mass came to an end, one of the guys who I have been having interesting conversations with, stopped by and asked me to come for tea....at his house. We had started a conversation that we needed to end. Sure was my response and he gave me his address. Mass ended and I headed to the door but was intercepted three times. When I finally got to my car, I was no longer 100% sure of the address I had been given. When love is around the corner, it would be good to pay attention to the address!!! Needless to say, I stood him up because when I arrived at what I thought was the address it did not exist. Sigh. I finally remembered it about one and a half hours later.
On a happier note, tonight I was at a gathering of the Ignatian Family which focused on the principle and foundation. The Jesuit leading the session had a few nuggets for me and those gathered. One was that we should make our gifts not the centre of our lives but the context in which to serve and love. God wants us to move through the gifts we have been given to find our true joy and freedom.
Perhaps that is what my fortune cookie meant...find my true joy and freedom by loving service.
Peace,
Suzanne
