Today was a great day. I noticed that recently my Wednesdays have been great days. I attribute this, at least in major part, to my Friendship Group which meets on Wednesday mornings at 6 a.m. at the McDonalds near Rouse’s in Youngsville. If you are not part of a Friendship Group please consider joining up with one. Ours is for men (who else is up and free to go to Mikey Ds at 6 a.m.). But there are groups for women and groups with no membership restrictions. We review the Daily Bread reading for the day and talk. We pray for each other and have coffee. It’s not a complicated format but it’s great.
In a world where most communication is by text or on Facebook, real face-to-face communication is worth more than ever. And such communication with Jesus at the center can be the centerpiece of a great day. Brother Andrew recognized that truth. At the beginning of his spiritual life, he spent time alone in the dessert but eventually opted for monastery life. While not the most social of lives, he lived in constant fellowship with Jesus and his brothers. We can mirror a small piece of that if we can, on at least one day a week, spend some time with others who consider Jesus the rock.
Join a Group, have a great day and be blessed.
