Things are busy here and I'm not sure if I'll be blogging much in the next few days, but I did want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much to be thankful for!!!
We are headed on a Disney "reunion cruise" with some of our best friends in the world. There are about 20 of us going. We were all friends in the Singles Ministry (where RV and I met in 1985) and they're really more like family, than anything. Some of us haven't seen each other in 10+ years, now that we're spread out literally from coast-to-coast.
I don't know when I've ever been this excited ..... we booked the trip 494 days ago, but who's counting? (ok - I admit it - I was!) We 'grew up' with these folks and they just don't make friends like that anymore. Although I hate it when Martha Hadley says "sharing life together" because, well, she's living there in the radio and not "sharing life" with the listener ..... we really did with these people. We went on retreats together back in the day when I was the Queen of Pictionary, went to more movies & dinners than I could count (Kregg, is that a small Coke I smell??), embarassed ourselves on ski trips (trying to learn to ski), vacationed at the beach together, attended dozens of concerts & seminars, were in each others weddings, there for each other during the pain of miscarriages and rejoiced in the birth of children, and so much more. I have high expectations that this trip will be just a little taste of heaven.
How does that saying go -- "Friends are the family you choose for yourself". Or something like that.
I pray that you & your family, whether they be biological or hand-picked, have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!!
