Monday Nights

On Monday night by ones and twos, twenty women drifted into our family room. Pour a cup of tea, greet a friend back from vacation, listen to someone's hard week, catch up on the news of someone's family. Then we settle in to read through a part of 2nd John, talk though the ideas of the verses and encourage each other in our faith. We share stories and pray. Some nights we laugh a lot, others are painful.

There are reasons I anticipate Monday nights-- This women remind me of what is true and eternal. My heart is encouraged by the faith of their day by day stories. It's heartening to know these friend truly understand my life and are walking through it with me. God is good.
