Mornings, Coffee, and Friendship

There is truth in the lyrics of the song "joy comes in the morning". Thank you, God that you gave me another day. The sun came up, and my troubles moved to the past, and I was faced with a new day, a new present moment. And wow! all that future laying out in front of me regardless of whether it is 5 more minutes or 50 more years.

One of my favorite things to do is go to coffee with my friends. We were invited to come together a year ago and we responded by getting up and out of our warm beds before the sun is over the edge of the earth because we needed exactly what we created in this small warm group. 

I don't believe in coincidence, but I do believe in holy moments, and the power that can be created when God's people recognize and purposefully commit to creating space for one another. I believe that God knew we would have many things to rejoice over and cry over, not only this past year, but for years to come; and He knew this group needed to begin and form and become.

We have become a group of wise women who hold each others hands and hearts through the joy and the sorrow of these times. We are specially and specifically called together every week to be each other's friend. I thank God for these women and this space.

Namaste.
