Face to Face

I have several wonderful friends in this part of the world. Remarkable women all.

The years of friendship range from just a few years to over 30 years. I value what they have added to my life. Reunion with these friends is always a delicious moment of joy.

Last night dinner was shared. Today art craft time will be shared. Tomorrow another shared meal. I have been to this place with a friend of 40 years. And I am now on this journey with a friend if 20 years.

The Advent devotion today talks about loving to be with those whom we love and with whom we love to be reunited. It goes on to say that God calls us to also be with those whom we would rather avoid for whatever reason we give.

This season we celebrate the amazing grace of God. Can we not offer grace as well?

Yesterday's labyrinth was the "finest" so far. Beautifully built and tended to. Big and bold. With a stone path that crunched as I walked. Sitting stones at the center.

As for the daily red chile blue corn enchilada, it was replaced with an amazing red chile beef tamale.
