Christmas Party with NEW Friends

I was invited to a party by a christian colleague/friend. In the spirit of fun and giving, I accepted her kind invitation. It has been a while since I am out meeting new people and especially now that I have just regained my singlehood.

I had a wonderful time. I met a bunch of wonderful, fun, and loving people of different ages, both girls and guys. We played a couple of ice breaker (games) to get to know each other more, before we proceed to the nice feast which we have all waiting for.

I enjoyed myself very much. I got to know quite a number of new friends. But I am ashamed to say that there are just so many of them that I can't remember a lot of their names. My name, however, is much easier for them to remember.

I'm pretty proud of myself and amazed that I managed to blend and confidently open myself and speak to people like I have known them for a long time. It has been a long time since I was in my sociable mode. I love it and I love myself.

While in the Christmas spirit, I would like to share a verse I read in a book which I was reading recently, Five Love Languages for Children. I'm not a Christian myself. But I find meaning in the verse. I hope that people who are confused, lost or lost love, will one day find themselves again. May the verse bring you hope, and light up your path in life.

Fear not, for I am with you.
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you.
Yes I will help you.
I will uphold you with My Righteous right hand.
