The Event

An event was planned, they called it Spring fling, it was proposed weeks ahead the date set did not swing.

Approximately 40 people committed to coming to this affair, but as you know, you can’t count on who will actually be there.

A main course was ordered from a caterer no less, the hosts wanted to keep it simple and eliminate the stress.

The drinks were provided, and the guests were to bring various sides, most people drove their own vehicles, others were able to catch a ride.

Tables were set up and many chairs were put out, Some had soft cushions and others were without. As the starting time approached, so did the dark clouds, the winds were ominous, this was expected to limit the crowd.

The party was ready to launch, the time had arrived, but at that very moment torrential rain came down from the sky.

The rear deck was covered but with much regret, everything that had been put out was soaking wet. Luckily most of the food had not yet arrived, and as the people showed up, it brought a gleam to our eyes.

The people kept coming and to our surprise, the house had filled up by the numbers that had comprised.

There was laughter and stories and fellowship throughout, The food was tremendous, no one’s stomach had to go without.

There was great interaction from all that did attend, Only God could know how it would start and how it would end.
