Sometimes I fling on whatever jumps out at me from the closet, drink a hurried breakfast shake, rush through my exercise routine, stop by the farmer's market, run a letter to the post office or do a million other errands before I meet a friend for lunch. When I get there, breathless and dabbing perspiration, my friend greets me with, "Praise the Lord, you look great today." And those seven words, fitly spoken, under-gird our conversation for the next two hours. I order the Waldorf salad, eat it with gleaming silverware, sip my lemonade, and think how wonderful it is to have a friend to share my thoughts and dreams, sorrows sometimes, joys, and occasional grievances. Such Grace! I must remember the Golden Rule, and pass along the Peace. Shalom, Mother BE
