Hello All!
After months of planning with our leadership team, we've not only gotten back to work, but are preparing for our journey home. I looked forward to the pre-trip gathering and our early morning departure because these were the times when we would reunite with those who had gone in 2007. Old friendships would be renewed. You all know how great it is to be in touch with those friends or family you haven't seen is a while.
I was reminded of these reunions in my life as I walked through WalGreens looking for flip-flops. Two ladies stood in an aisle of the store talking about all the places they'd gone after the storm, and how long they'd been back in Chalmette. They talked about how they had lived near eachother in Slidell without knowing it. They talked about how great it was to start seeing familiar faces in Chalmette again.
As I was getting ready to check-out, two ladies were talking by the door about the same thing. Catching up like old friends do, asking about others they have common ties to. Happy to see eachother after so long.
Like I said, I was looking for flip-flops. I didn't find any, but I did find some "Crock"-type shoes that were the last pair and luckily fit me... although they are hot pink. What I didn't expect to find that day was God's presence in WalGreens.
Blessings...
