A World of Difference

Yesterday the ‘prayer girls’ and I had our Christmas lunch at the luxurious Don CeSar Hotel’s Sea Porch Cafe on St. Petersburg Beach.

There were the four of us, Abby, Nancy, Taina and myself.
Before the meal was over....we had involved several of our fellow diners in our moments of hilarity.
Abby, being the clown that she is...informed us that she had gotten a ‘tattoo’. We believed her!
Upon revealing her ‘non existent’ tattoo, her punch line was overheard by another diner who was laughing along with us.
Nancy was not surprised by Abby’s antics.....they have much the same sense of humor. But Taina, the ever elegant lady and ‘proper’ Doctor’s wife image was a little dismayed when she understood what was happening ....was a joke.
Taina’s seriousness takes a shock at times with her ‘flamboyant’ friends yet she contributes in ‘first-class’ FUN to our enjoyment and has for seven years!
Then we decided to have our pictures made and our server plus another diner decided to ‘help’ us. Arranging our ‘best side’ look took much movement from one place to another but surprisingly enough even strangers ’got in the act’!

Part of our celebration was the sharing of gifts to and from each other.
We ‘ohed and awed’ as only females can do.
Had there been any males present yesterday.....they would have died of humiliation at the ’spectacle’ four grown women created.

But we had FUN and for us that was the idea.
For you see all four of us work very hard in our given roles of life and family. We take very seriously our commitment to that which is sacred.

When our meal arrived....we did the normal.
Bowed our heads together in a bond of love to God and each other.....and thanked the Almighty God for all of the many blessings He has brought into our lives and that of our families.
We also are thankful that He created us with a lively sense of humor!
We are made in HIS image......He knows how to laugh too!
Thank God!
