we had a wonderful 'neighbor-party" in our garden. over 80 people coming together at a sunny evening. bringing dishes from all over the world to celebrate and enjoy our friendships and ravel in the love God has for his people. it was a wonderful evening and it really strengthened my passion in our german conversation group. it's sometimes hard to carve out every wednesday morning, to gather and teach and pay close attention to the spoken word of the people attending the conversation group. i much rather would just enjoy and just plainly go on talking and interacting. though we do have the idea and try to focus on it, to help the ladies coming to the group, to improve their german language skills. as well as help them understand our culture, as we are trying to understand theirs and are so richly blessed by getting to know all those unique persons. all of them having left their motherland behind and because of this or that reason, and on this or that way arrived in our little corner of the world.
it is a blessing and i want to share my joys and my life with them too.

Looks like a joyful celebration! Sometimes those relationships that you really give much to, give much back!
What a beautiful celebration you had in your garden!! We recently celebrated in ours as well. Lots of wonderful new friendships and memories were made. I took photos and shared on my blog a couple of days ago if you'd like to visit. : ) Hope you're having a lovely weekend!!
