Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! It never crossed my mind what the days of August would bring me. Even the very first day of August...
For some time now, we had been thinking of meeting. The only meeting point: Diaconești! But somehow, our plans just weren't materializing. And, since God doesn't sleep, doesn't take vacations, but constantly works to make everything 'very good,' He also arranged our meeting.
Three kindred spirits! Three people like pillars you feel you can lean on. Three people you know will always be there from now on. I say three, because, although I had known Mrs. M.M. for some time, today I realized that a person is truly a mystery, and you always discover something new in them.
I felt small among them, but my soul grew to the sky: they instilled in it a lot of joy, an emotion I had missed. I truly missed feeling this way: small among great people!
They left in the meantime, and I remained here. Still with my cup of coffee. With the cup of coffee and the joy left as a gift. And, if I think about it, they are the Mother of God's gift to me. Today, the first day of fasting, the first day when the days 'taste' (august) good after a long time during which both my body and soul had been numb.
Glory to You, Lord!
