Christmas breakfast

My small group had our annual Christmas breakfast today.

Menu:
  1. Oatmeal waffles
  2. Vanilla yogurt
  3. Hot stewed apples and pears with pecans and syrup and raisins and other wonderful flavors
  4. Cheeses
  5. Almond stritzel
  6. Freshly brewed Columbian coffee.
  7. Cranberry wassail
There was ice on the road when I left this morning and I hoped that we would all be there. We were. One of us was quite bruised from a spill on the ice.

One of us was just back from a trip to Central America, Ecuador, and Columbia. She had interviewed seminary women about the importance of relationships with other women. As part of her sharing she read their responses to us and we smiled. They were describing us---the way we feel about being together---how we bring out good things in each other and find wisdom together that we didn't know we had. It is a universal thing that we enjoy, this finding strength among other women.
