Yesterday, I was blessed to visit with two of my old roommates from college. One lives only an hour away now and the other was in town visiting from North Carolina. We have many memories and stories from our college days, but we reserve those for late nights and embarrassing moments.
The thought I want to highlight today is the blessing of being able to pick back up right where we left off in any previous conversation. The foundation has been established; we know who each other are; we've lived as roommates and seen each other's faults. And at this stage in life, our paths have been so vastly different, but the common bond of those college years remains.
We mention each other in our prayers and we long for the days we can spend time together and catch up. The catching up is often interrupted by children, but even that is a welcome distraction as it is a part of our current lives (or at least theirs) and an aspect that is worthy of sharing.
Who do you have a foundational bond with that you have lost touch with? An old college friend? A classmate from elementary school? With modern technology, it's easy to drop that person a line and say that you're thinking of them or praying for them. Throwback Thursday is a great opportunity to do just that :)
