Who would have thought a 32 yr old would be pleasantly surprised at midnite by a bunch of friends with beaming faces and a delicious cake? I certainly didn't! And, that is exactly how it happened!!! Few friends, couple of cousins and my own family threw in a surprise party for me...and the surprises were just beginning to unfold! After a delightful cake-cutting and a cake facial that was thrown in for free...the gang dispersed only to reconvene again for lunch.
Finding myself holding a huge table for friends who showed up late, I sat pondering over what it was that I had done, that had made a small difference in the lives of ten others...surely I must have done something...however minute it may have been, for why else would a bunch of strapping 24 yr olds want to spend a whole day making me feel special?
And that, is exactly what they did - made me feel so special that I was overwhelmed each time a surprise showed up! Clutching a beautiful bunch of flowers that was neatly handed over to me post lunch, I realized what a wonderful gift it was the God had given me - a bunch of friends to be treasured and cherished.
