Breakfast today

Today I went to breakfast with my 'Bible Study' friends. We have been meeting on and off for almost five years now. We hadn't officially met since November, so we had a lot of catching up to do. A lot has happened.

At our last meeting, one of the women was concerned about her husband, who hadn't been feeling well. Since then, he was diagnosed with lung cancer, and three weeks ago he died.

Another of the women had just recently turned 85. I wish that I could look that good at 85, but I have NEVER looked that good, even though I am 39 years younger than she is.

The youngest among us had just finished her internship for a degree she is going for.

And yet another brought pictures from her daughter's recent wedding.

One of us wasn't there, because she was with her 17 year old son for his second day of chemotherapy for testicular cancer.

Everyone of these women have played an important part in my life. I am so glad that I know them. How we came to meet together in the first place is truly a 'God thing'.

I am blessed.
