Late autumn sunshine fills my SUV.
Air cold outside the windows, but toasty warm inside.

My fingers wrap around a sweetly spiced latte
as I drive toward a friendship.

I smile.
Sixty days since we have hugged.
Sixty days since we have shared life's joys and struggles.
Today we will catch-up.
Today we will bless.
The tires roll away the miles
as the radio plays songs about God's love and blessings.
Sweet sunshine.
Sweet coffee.
Sweet friend.

I look up and see her standing there,
all smiles and arms stretched wide.

Warm embrace
instant chatter
lilting laughter
We talk as we walk beautiful aisles.
We touch sparkling ornaments on decorated trees,

slip shiny holiday rings onto our fingers,
beaded bracelets on our wrists,
and close our eyes to sniff cinnamon scented pine cones.

Christmas music surrounds us.
We fill our baskets with aromatic candles,
a sweater for mom,
paints for a son,
and glittery garland for our trees at home.
We smile,
wrapped in our friendship.

Lunch brings more shared stories straight from the heart,
and squares of minty chocolate slowly savored for dessert,
surrounded by others joyfully doing the same.
A friendship found through two blogs.
A sisterhood nurtured through many emails.
Hearts bonding.
Souls embracing.
Hearts bonding.
Souls embracing.
More hugs exchanged with bids of farewell
and promises to meet again before Christmas day.

I drive the same sunny roads home
singing along with the music in my heart
and feeling so very blessed.
Sweet sunshine.
Sweet sister-in-Christ.
Sweet day.
~ Blessings ~
