During tea time, we enjoyed the food and the awesome bobo teas.
I shared with the ladies that the story behind the bi-monthly event was to first develop friendships. If you want friends, you must show yourself friendly, take a leap and reach out to others. Those assigned to you will come, no matter the number of people who show up.
We played numerous games, “kind words bingo”, a game I found in the dollar store. I gave each person a dice, Life sometimes feels like a game of chance, but it is not because each number has a meaning. We must be intentional in our choices, to make them matter not only to ourselves but to at least another person.
I also gave each person a copy of my book, Waterfalls of God’s Mercies: Healing after Brokenness. Be merciful to self and others, just like God is to us, especially in the not so parts of life’s “messiness”.
