Tonight, four couples sat around a table in an Italian restaurant and had pizza, pasta, and dessert. We were blessed to be one of the couples.
I sat there rather quiet for the most part thinking to myself that it was a strange set of events that preceded this evening's gathering.
First, one couple moves to Keller, Texas, due to a change, an opportunity, for different work.
The second couple, us, move to Keller, Texas, due to an opportunity for different work.
The third couple moves to Keller, Texas, due to work.
Once there was a time when I didn't know where Keller was.
All friends before. All from the same town, the same church, some affiliation to the same university. Each family has children approximately the same age. In fact, the three women were pregnant at the same time, the spring of the year 1994.
I just stared at the faces and heard the laughter and listened to the stories. Wonderful.
