A Tiny Exquisite Moment…

As I listen to my new friend, Pete is providing enough information for us to apply for a loan or get a security clearance so we might play tennis in sweltering heat with an inevitable outcome - I will lose. I hope they take their time because I have a feeling this gal has a story she is itching to share. And really, don't we all? I know sometimes it seems like our own lives are bland compared to what we read on facebook. But listen - Facebook is not real, it is a vehicle used to advertise things we do not need but feel we must have to be happy. What's real are these stories! These marvelous, rich, amazing stories of everyday flesh and blood people whom we come in contact with randomly...for a purpose.

I pray for you a long line today. I hope you meet a stranger who tells you a marvelous and wondrous tale. Or maybe you are the stranger who will tell your story to another and in the sharing there will be a little spark of recognition, a glimmer of essence, a tiny exquisite moment of joy in the seeing of another creature, made in the very image of God.
