Tonight I am hungry. For food and for sweet companionship. I keep lusting after scenes of cheery people sitting around a big table eating wonderful Italian food. Asked God to send a dinner companion. As I scrolled through my own list of people I could invite, I was reminded that I have initiated with almost everyone on the list the last several times. So I gave it a rest and made tea.
Trying to learn gratitude and asking God if I should keep seeking him out in big things if he says no to little things. Shortly after a movie invitation arrived from Allison for tomorrow, and I was reminded that she is a fantastic inviter. Then I felt gratitude and my tea tasted like enough.

Maybe you are given a gift of inviting, initiating, like your friend Tara. I am sure when you considered how you were the initiator it may have felt exhausting, frustrating, & you do need a break sometimes from that (Thank God for Tara). Some people don't even think about initiating activity due to the busyness in their lives, sometimes from mismanagement.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite people are the busiest, so I rarely ask of their time. It does keep our relationship from growing, but we still have deep connections. So I take what I can get (crumbs) & savor it.

I know I am not an initiator, I just don't think to do things out of the home that's not errands. I will be thinking more about this topic, thanks!
