Goosebumps

It was all very familiar;

the chatter of women as they came into the room; the laughter, the hugs, the smiles, the camaraderie. Then,"Okay, sisters, it's time to start..."

The announcements, the introduction of visitors, and then the opening hymn:

"Sweet Hour of Prayer"

And, hearing the women's voices in this room filled with total strangers 2000 miles from my home, gave me goosebumps.

It was so beautiful,

and then I realized we weren't strangers at all!
