I have a quote on my fridge that says,
“ever have a really
good cup of coffee, only to realize it was actually just a really good
conversation?"
These are the kind of visits I long for. Where I really
think it was just the brew I’m drinking, but it was really the equal, heart to
heart give and take between you and i. We, each sharing our joys, sorrows,
struggles and surprises. Giving voice to our dreams of the future and our
visions for where we think God might be wanting to take us next.
I see these kinds of visits happening in the coffee shops
and restaurants I get to frequent. I often wonder if the two or more people in
conversation are feeling satisfied with it. I mean, really soul filled, not
with just food, but with the company they are keeping.
I am so blessed to say that I do have friends like this.
Where the give and take is easy. There is sharing from the deep places, not
just skimming the surface. And, these
are the conversations I will continue to seek out.
Next time I go to the coffee shop, I’m going to look around.
I’m going to look in faces to see if I see satisfaction there. Hopefully I
will. Hopefully, I’ll see face to face and not screen to screen.
