It’s Just A Game…

It started as just another game. I enjoy a game or two on my Ipad, they come and they go! This game started immediately with many facets, which I enjoy. There’s a great storyline to follow, hidden objects, timed events, only this game added the fun of creating and decorating an Island, time era the 1920’s and offered a coffee lounge.

A lounge, this is where it gets interesting. This game has a coffee lounge and teams you can join, upon joining a team and meeting for coffee, you receive energy, and you can chat back and forth with teammates. Time goes by and long story short I create my own team!

I pray about everything and I mean everything so of course I prayed about members and new members. You might not think God is or would be interested in my video game and coffee chat room! I’m here to tell you he is interested in every aspect of our lives, and if we invite him to share our world, he will do just that!

I have been blessed with an amazing group of women. There are fifteen of us total, many of us retired but we have three nurses, who we watch play when they can and then go for days and not see them due to covid and their grueling schedules. I have a woman who suffers from a bone disease and her bones are dissolving, her spine is now metal and she suffers much pain. I have a beautiful soul who fights MS everyday, one gal is losing her daddy to a heart disease. A mama who takes care of her son who was severely wounded defending our country. I have a feisty 71 one year old who does ballroom competitions and tears up the dance floor; what an inspiration these women are!

We live in Oregon, Texas, California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, Canada, and Ireland. The reason I bring up this crazy group of women is I know in my heart God brought us together; we meet daily, share the game and our lives. We go by our game names, and we don’t bring politics or the world onto our island retreat.

We share our tears and our joys; we laugh, joke, and tease our way out of any hardship the day might have brought to one or two of us. We have become such a valuable source of friendship and support to each other and why is that? It’s just a game!!! Because God is one of our honorable teammates, we hold each other up in prayer. We are a crazy bunch of gals from different corners of the world sharing our love and need of God in our lives. Being there for each other, 15 strangers now bonded by a spirit of love and friendship.

Matthew 18:20 NIV “For when two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

So, at 3 pm, pst (for me)…I meet with 14 crazy, fun, God-loving women, and God meets with us. If you take God with you when you go, invite him to be a part of your world and activities you might be surprised by the people you will meet. God desires to be an active part of our daily lives, all you have to do is ask!

Thank you for meeting me each day, and you bless me by many I now follow…I have a Portland designer, for example, I’ve never met, but I feel a connection with because of this blog, hers, and merely exchanging messages of kindness here and there! Stay open; God’s full of surprises. Be blessed, try and be a blessing and as always thank-you for joining me. 🥰
