(because
Golden Girls makes us sound old!)
"I love you."
"Thank you so much."
"This means so much to me."
"What a great day."
I heard
these phrases and said them so many times in the past three days. I spent a weekend with six amazing women. My childhood friends had a refreshing,
renewing and perfect weekend together.
We wore
matching t-shirts, had manicures and pedicures together, laughed, shared, celebrated and
ate together.
We were
very close growing up but as Life went on, we were spread across the world. We had different careers, circumstances and
concerns. Living our lives took us in
many directions. I was not conscientious
about keeping in touch.
Last
September we met for our high school
reunion and it was just like we were young again. We laughed, reminisced and talked, lots of
talking.
For me,
it was a miracle, a gift and a blessing. Our
lives intersected at just the moment in my life when I needed to touch of these
women! I know it was God miraculously
intervening in my life at just the time I needed the soothing comfort of my
lifelong friends. It was so easy to schedule
time to meet with these women.
Considering Life's schedules, finding a weekend when all of us could
gather is a miracle. It has happened! I
think and hope it will happen again.
I
commented several times this weekend that we are all still the same. Each one of us has faced Life, the joys and
challenges, and maintained her unique self.
I love these women and know they
love me, just as I am.
In
Romans chapter 8 I am reminded that the Spirit helps us in our weakness even
when we don't know what we need. God
knows our heart and gives us what we need even when we can't put it into
words. Nothing in life can separate me
from God's love.
Thank
you God for the weekend, for the Platinum Girls and reminding me:
God loves me just as I am.
God meets my need at just the right time.
God is the same. You
loved me in the past, the present and the future.
