This week’s Five Minute Friday prompt is:
Set a timer for for five minutes, and let’s write:
It’s happening.
Exactly three months from THIS WEEKEND, a whole hoard of us are congregating in the heartbeat of the U.S. to join our own heartbeats in unison. We’re coming from near and far to gather together just because.
And it’s going to be amazing.
We’ve got introverts and extroverts, northerners and southerners, ready and willing to link arms and meet for the first time. But I have a strong hunch that it’s going to feel like we’ve known each other forever.
[Tweet “There’s a common thread that has sewn us together, even if we’ve been cut from different cloths.”]
We’re unified and united in grace, and we meet to encourage.
And I have a feeling that it’s going to be a lot like a foretaste of heaven — when the Lord Himself gathers us up from near and far, and we’ll meet him together in the air, to be with Him forever.
The first weekend of August is going to be so great — but not nearly as amazing as the ultimate meeting, when we’re united to the One who holds all things together for His glory.

I LOVE your challenge! That’s always my favorite part of #fmfparty…clicking on random people 😀
I can’t go to the retreat but agree wholeheartedly that it will be a foretaste of heaven for all who attend. Great idea to meet someone new tonight! Thanks for being such a thoughtful and creative host. 🙂
Always love seeing your name and comments appear here, Karen! Blessings on your week .. may it be filled with meat! 😉
So bummed I can’t make it to meet you in person! But I may be able to meet a few of you here and there as I travel this summer! I’ll be in OK and TX for several weeks and can stop at points in between!
Sounds like fun, Anita! So sorry we’ll miss you at the retreat, though!
I’m still praying about this retreat. 🙂 I asked my hubby to pray too. We’ll see.
And I have to admit, since Liz V shared about visiting one new person each week at FMF, I’ve begun doing it. It’s fun to “meet” people and read their takes on the weekly word. 🙂
I so wish I could be there!
Well, miracles happen.But I will be there in spirit, regardless.
Love the challenge. Great idea! I do try to do that every week. And loved your post. That’s how I envision heaven too. And I’ll bet you are right. It is going to feel like we’ve known each other forever!
It’s so true – we are united and unified in grace and this is a community that makes my heart glad. So blessed to have found sisters here who have welcomed me with such love – it is a beautiful blessing. So sad I’ll miss the little slice of heaven, but grateful we are still joined by One Spirit! Thank you, Kate for giving us the safe place to be who God made us to be. xo
