Reconnecting ...

I think the whole cyber-reunion thing is kinda crazy ... I have really enjoyed being on Facebook and "seeing" people that I haven't thought about in years. There are specific people I have reconnected with that I have really enjoyed getting to catch up with ... there are others that I decline their "friend request" ... I wonder why one and not the other?

It's so amazing to look back on life and to see what God has lead me through, the people I have met and the places I have been ... all the lessons learned, and for every one I am so thankful.

Then still now, via Facebook, to reconnect with people that I thought were only a season in my lifetime are now turning out to be like long lost friends, people I have so much in common with and it is such a blessing to be able share in life again ... now, with all life's challenges, to share how I've made it through, my story ... told to people I thought I would never see again, their stories impact me, and I wonder if mine does the same?

Pictures of marriages, families, children ... You married who? You live where? How many kids do you have? We share about love, losses, and lives that have carried on for 15 years since we last talked ... then suddenly how does it feel like no time has passed at all? God is just that good.

Thank you for Facebook Lord, for the friends of years past that are friends again, for the opporotunity to share in someone's life, to show them Your goodness and grace ... You constantly amaze me.
