  • God has a sense of humor

    After the revelation I had, God chears me up.


    My family went to Norman to see Brave Combo play at the annual Summer Breeze concerts in the park on Sunday.  I thought this would be the best way to celebrate Father's Day with DH.  He really enjoyed himself, btw!  And the band was fantastic as usual!!


    I spent my teenage years and part of my young adult years living in Norman.  I moved to OKC about 15 years ago.  Point?:  I haven't lived in Norman for a very long time.


    My sister went with us.  She's lived in Norman for more than 30 years now. 


    After being at the concert for about an hour or so, she leans over to me and says "It's amazing, I've seen only one person I know and you've seen like a dozen people!  AND I LIVE HERE!!"  It was true.  I saw lots of people I knew.  By the end of the evening, I had seen at least a couple of dozen people that I knew and my sister saw two.  Most of these people I see regularly and are in my community, some I go to church with, some where my neighbors, one was my best bud Steph's friend who we had just spent the afternoon at a birthday party together.


    I am not alone.  I have an enourmous community.  My roots are firmly planted in this wonderful state of Oklahoma!


    Funny isn't it?!!!

  • :sunny: doesn't it feel great running into so many people you know? LIke a reunion- makes the world so much smaller.

  • That's a good feeling... I have that revelation sometimes when I'm feeling like we're all alone, many states away from any of my family... then I realize we have so many friends from so many different aspects of our lives and are really rooted here in California. I especially feel that way after having kids - kids have a way of tying you into the community in even greater ways :love:

  • :sunny:

    What a great feeling!

  • :wave: I'll call you tomorrow.

  • It is! I never run into people I know when I go anywhere, but Wil does, all the time.

  • ryn: I wish you could have joined me! There sure was enough to go around. :wink:

  • That is a wonderful feeling, to be so rooted.

    ryc- Did you write up your own blessing cards or buy them?  If you wrote them up, where did you collect the blessings from?

  • Hello! How nice to have roots, and a community.

    Take care!!

  • ryn: I will. Thanks!
