"It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to the end of, and it was full of unexpected places."
--The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis
Tonight Jeff and I enjoyed an evening full of joy and laughter with our dear small group friends. It's past midnight and I'm still buzzing on the inside with excitement, amazed at how a group of a dozen wildly unique people with various personality quirks and interests can bond like blood. It's only by God's grace. Our small group is truly our family.
I remember when our group first formed a year ago...Our host, Jada, said, "I just want my home to always be full of joy and people." Mission accomplished, my friend. Our small group isn't even so "small" anymore. It's ballooned to include lots of people who float in and out of the group Friday nights.
Tonight we blared Christmas carols off-key, celebrated Jeff's birthday, and best of all, exchanged white elephant gifts from the Salvation Army. A brilliant idea thanks to our fearless leader, Michael!
I returned home with a gorgeous new set of candles, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" classic, Scrabble, a flower arrangement, and a Tiki light. Jada was pretty inventive with her $10 limit!
Here's to sticking together for many more Christmases to come! Kaya! :)
