At least three years younger
These smiling faces made me feel at least three years younger Saturday night. Was it the stirred up gratitude or the literal rubbed elbows as we squeezed 12 around an 8-top? Was it the just-because giggles, shared stories, or the practice carols by the fire? Was it just being together? Was it?
This was Friendsgiving with many of the younger folks from our church. We all brought dishes to the table, used the last of the compostable dinnerware from Michaelmas, and circled around a campfire after dinner. The church office printed Advent and Christmas hymns for us to try. We kept things simple which meant we got to focus on hanging out.
If you’re thinking about inviting friends in for supper, go for it! The memory will be a blessing.
