threads of thanks
September 28, 2013 § Leave a comment
Motherhood has been a happy accident of intentional relationships; exceptional moments of kindness creating connectedness between strangers. This past week was freckled with moments of gratitude for familiar faces lending strength in smiles and new relationships threading themselves among the old inviting hope. Our story is a marriage of chance and intention sweeping across adversity towards possibility in conscious acts of friendship. We learn and teach in the company of individuals who share our days, some from afar and others walking beside us. In each image of friendship I recognize reflections of experiences I cherish and faith in a future shared.
This morning, as I linger over my coffee in a quiet corner of our home, I am casting a silent note of thanks for the kindness of strangers who have gifted me the company of friends.
