Getting to Know You, Getting to Know All About You
Over the last two days I spent narly 10 hours with an amazing person. We were putting together the dvd of the Parent's Dinner for the 6th grade girls. While we were waiting for things to burn an incredible thing happened. We began to really get to know each other. Our hearts were taken out and plastered on our sleeves. I'm pretty sure we both teared up at least once or twice. We definitely laughed and we found that we were even more alike than we first imagined. No wonder we relate to one another so well. We were raised by such similar people. In fact, I feel closer to him than any of my 3 brothers. I guess I would say he is my brother. He is now a lot of who I am becoming. I desperately want to learn how to share the love I've so abundantly received. He's really good at this. Maybe he'll teach me. We both love kids and love working with them. I believe God placed us in each other's proximity for some reason. And I know I grew. I hope he did, too. And now, I can't imagine this guy not being in my life.

Don't you just love it when God puts people in your life like that. I know I do. That is awesome!
Why do you think we are called the family of God? I have such an amazing family, but have only begun to touch the surface..That's cool that you found this new brother..I love it.

I'm glad you have found a new friend! I believe in Anne of Green Gables, they use the term "kindred spirit." I like that term and am always glad when I am blessed to meet kindred spirits.
