Here is the story:
We were getting ready to start our meeting with beverages courtesy of our Lead(Her) ...and, all of a sudden, enters Ann Marie with a beverage from "a different beverage place"! I have heard that for coffee connoisseurs, this is quite controversial :^)
Here is the pic. Thanks for the pic and for the bevs Heat(her)!
Here is the unexpected lesson/reminder:This pic got me thinking...
1) It is ok to be different. Our differences make us unique. They make us who we are.
2) We need people in our lives that, in big and small things, (as our group did today):
- Acknowledge and are aware of our differences
- Respect our differences
- Speak the truth about what makes us different
- Use our differences as opportunities for growth
- Love and accept us for exactly who we are
Hey Ann Marie (Graceful Rebel), thanks so much for the unexpected lesson that your uniqueness brought on Saturday.
Here is a picture of Ann Marie :^)
peace, hope and love,
Lily :-)

Hi Heat(her) - thanks for the pic idea and for the great meeting on Saturday.
As I said before: I SO LOVED the lessons in Ecclesiastes 12:9-10 re: Teaching/Leadership (wisdom, listening carefully, studying, finding the right words, expressing truths clearly).
Hi Ann Marie - you are so right. We should learn to be thankful for our uniqueness and use it to make a differnce for God and in the lives of others.
Thanks so much to both of you for stopping by :^)
Lily
