Auspicious August Occasion

                             

We all have circles of friendship and fellowship that fit into our schedules and lives. Often I will meet someone and realize how much I'd like to get to know  them more, but there usually isn't time and space and that's ok.

I comfort myself knowing that eternity is just around the corner and that there will be unlimited "time" to visit with all I have longed for and a whole lot more!

Leanne and I have prioritized our friendship, more and more over the years  and we make time for each other, without pressure, on a fairly regular basis.

She has met with these two lovely ladies, Theresa and Cori, for many years and they have forged deep bonds of friendship and camaraderie in Jesus.  

I know of them and admire them from afar,  but we all got to experience one of those wonderful set aside times  of delightful togetherness, (something we all hoped for) through some maneuverings of dates and times. 

It all fell together on a beautiful August morning and we had a brunch fit for queens with correspondingly lovely fellowship. 

The best part was prayer, as it usually is.

Even though God is always in our midst, the setting aside of time - together - to honour and seek Him is a powerful act.

We worshiped Him.

Because He is always worthy...

We spent time in intercession and heard from Him.

This is heaven on earth.

A most auspicious occasion that we went away from feeling rich, full and hopeful.

There were words spoken of "dancing feet" and a whole lot more...

"Then those who feared the lord spoke with each other, and the Lord listened to what they said. 

In His presence, a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared him and always thought about the honour of His Name."

Malachi 3:16

It is my prayer that we will be those ones who fear Him, always thinking about the honour of His most wonderful Name.

Here below are a couple of pictures from the "archives"of Leanne & Karen's journey. 

We would never go back but are grateful that we met and have had each other for support and encouragement over the years.

And that our daughters are such good friends as well.
