I am forever mystified by God's abundant provision for our lives...have you ever felt that way?About 6 years ago, Aaron & I joined a small group for the class "Growing Kids God's Way" with 2 other couple-friends from our church. Then we heard that another couple had called the church looking for a group and would be joining us. I still remember meeting them. All of us botched her name, but quickly adopted the "new couple."
As the weeks turned to months, we grew from sharing our parenting struggles with one another...and then, as quickly as it started, the class was over. Having never met her kids at that point and already feeling "connected" with my group of friends, I'm not sure that I ever thought we'd develop much of a friendship.
And then the following fall, we four women from the class took an overnight trip to a mothers-only seminar. That's where it all began...a true deepening of our connection and friendship.
Today, I can't imagine my life without them.
These are the memories we have to treasure...lots of piano lessons, a little crafting, sharing tea & goodies, visiting the zoo, "swing & dress-up," co-oping, gingerbread festival, Blue Man Group, watching the ballet, and just hanging out being friends.
Now we say, "goodbye" or at least "see ya later," as we move away to a new home.
We will miss each of you so much! Thanks for being our friends even at a distance!
