Where Three or More Are Gathered...

I just had to share the first Sweeter Than Chocolate! gathering that happened Tuesday evening at Linda P's home.

Our first week is well underway and I can hardly describe to you what it did to my heart when I saw these three beautiful women gathering for the 'soul' purpose of pursuing intimacy with God through His Word and fellowshipping with their sisters in the joy of it all... I am still tearing up as I write this - my cup is overflowing.

I will let you hear of this evening in Linda P's own words...

So here we are at our first Sweeter Than Chocolate gathering. It was definitely sweet. We missed our other half but look forward to having the three of you next week. Here's a sneak preview of our group.
The weather was so perfect once again so we spent the first half hour walking in the garden and sipping our coffee. We met in the guest cottage and spent some time reading Psalm 119 together and doing some writing in our journals.
Our first writing prompt was "What sweeter than chocolate means to me..." and second, a little more intimate was, "If your soul is a landscape describe what it looks like during this season of your life."
Glenna's description of sweeter than chocolate had our mouths watering and our souls thirsting for God's Word.
This was just our ice breaking evening so now we are on track to do our first week of homework. I think you will find it very self explanatory, especially if you view Cathie's video before you start the workbook. Like she says, just enjoy the experience. Tuesday nights are low key and relaxed and there is no right or wrong. We are making our way together.
Looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday at 7:00. (Oh, yes. The girls talked about it and we will wind it up at 9:00 to accommodate the working gals.) Also, while I am in Ontario Glenna will host the Tuesday evenings in Langley. And one last item of business....we will each take a turn bringing a chocolate treat. Glenna will bring one next week.
Bye for now.

Lord, open our eyes that we might behold wondrous things from Your Word; may Your Word become our very soul's delight. Psalm 119:18,77
