Just a few hours ago, I had a fun time chatting with a group of new-found friends. I wonder if it was a result of me not having any expections. All of them are younger than me. They each have different backgrounds and stories. One thing in common perhaps is that we are all working for the same company and we possess the same status - temps. No stress. No burdens.
We shared stories of our own experiences at work, made jokes about people and of course exchanged some harmless gossip.
I enjoyed the session. There was laughter and there was bonding. We may have met one another only a few weeks or days ago but the wall of foreigness and fear and suspicions is thining.
Dear Lord
Thank you for the wonderful time I had today. I am grateful that I have made friends with this gorup of people. THey are kind and wonderful. Despite our varied experiences and background, we have managed to connect with one another and I hope that our friendship will carry on into the future.
I pray that you look over them and bless them with good health and joy in their lives.
At the same time, I hope that I have offered a different perspective to them and that they can benefit from my sharing of my experiences and knowledge.
I would also like to pray for Jenny who was not able to join us because of work and health issues. I pray that she gets a good rest tonight so that she has the energy to meet the challenges at work. And for Terisia, I pray that she will be able to do well in her upcoming exams.
Lastly, I pray that the next two days will be smooth sailing so that I can have a peaceful and sweet ending to my stay here.
Lord, I also pray that I can learn to take away my negative perceptions of people and try to see the good in everyone.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
