Soul Cafe

I visited my favorite soul café today…my home. No alarm, no schedule, no make-up. Lots of good coffee, food and conversation with my best friend, Ron, interspersed with the rhythm of Saturdays…wash the bed linens, iron some clothes, care for the houseplants, dust and vacuum, enjoy the gentle rain and read a chapter in a novel. Yet, all the while, I experienced a time of reflection. Each day, each week, each season, each lifetime has purpose and meaning and is filled with blessings. Lost in this thought I was able to touch and be touched by a God who keeps on feeding my soul.

P.S. My parents are celebrating their 62nd wedding anniversary today. What a lesson in faithful living they have been to us.
