A Time to Laugh

Yesterday I "just so happen to" get the chance to visit with a few friends that are soothing to my soul. The kids had bowling and I spent some time visiting and laughing with a couple of women. One of them has 11 children, one has 8, and the other "only" 4. We told kid stories, talked about how each is different, how differently one parents the first and subsequent others. Nothing monumental occurred, but I felt understood, loved, refreshed. I am thankful for moments like those.
