Today was an ordinary day. The standard routine, the usual daily grind. But, the day really was different because the evening was approaching. I had an excitement in my spirit to reconnect with an old friend.
One of the most fulfilling moments in my life is connecting with people. Relationships make my heart beat fast, especially the most intimate details that bring deep understanding of each other. If I can discover who someone is, why they do what they do, where they have come from, what tragedies and blessings have brought them to this particular moment in time, I know that God will bring the right words to mind, the scripture that will minister, the kindness that will touch their soul, mercy that will pierce their pain, the grace that will redeem.
What joy comes in reconnecting with someone who shared life with you, who knew some of the intimate details of your life. The part in your symphony when the poetic discourse is revealed in reminiscing about the past, discovering the reality of today and the hope for tomorrow which is woven purposefully into our lives for such a time as this.
Today was not an ordinary day. Today, was a day of redemption, a day of unusual routine. Today I enjoyed a fabulous meal with a truly wonderful girlfriend, a walk downtown, a coffee and a conversation! It was Poetico!
