Friends

We had friends over for dinner. Since we have two kids 3 & under and they have 3 kids 4 & under, the evening began around 3 and ended around 6:45. But you know what? It was great to see them. It was great to visit with another family that has the same values, similar struggles, similar senses of humor. Also, the dad of the family likes to drink scotch, which my husband also likes. I think it smells like turpentine, so Michael enjoyed drinking a bit of scotch with his buddy. I enjoyed swapping non-dairy, eggless recipes with the mom, since we both have kids with allergies and sensitivities. It was a very pleasant evening, and a good reminder as to why God wants us to gather in community. It's good for us.
