Ladies having fun!

by Granny Girl

I almost titled this post "Old ladies having fun" because I belong to a wonderful group of ladies who meet on Wednesday nights for Bible study. We've been getting together for about three months and until a couple of weeks ago we were all in the over 50 age group. But then a 30 year old came, and then a 26 year old came. Both of these younger women were absolutely delightful! I admire them for seeking friendship with older women, and for holding their own when it comes to discussion time. They are both very wise young women.

We have so much fun at our studies! It's being held at my house through the summer, and we squeeze around the round dining table for our study time. I love having it here, because it creates a deadline to get my whole house clean at once. Not that they're going to look in all the bedrooms, but the off chance they will peek gives me just the right amount of pressure to get it all done. Some of us bring snacks, some of us don't. We wear our jeans or work clothes so no there's no pressure to dress up. It's so relaxing and just plain enjoyable!

Right now we're studying the book of Daniel. We all have different backgrounds and viewpoints, so each chapter brings up some very interesting conversations. Some of us grew up in church and some of us are new to it. Some of us have tabs on our Bibles to find the different books and some us have the books memorized. Some of us are recovering addicts and some are teetotalers. Some are married and some are single. Every week something is said or done that points out afresh that God is the One who put this group together. We would have never in a million years been able to orchestrate this fun, silly, wise, eclectic, cohesive group of wonderful women!
