Last night was the last time the group met as I currently know it. We've grown to the point that we will now be two groups, but the fact is that it's already a new group. DC is such a transient city that when we started discussing this, there were only three people who were here when I joined. And that doesn't even count the others who have already come and gone.
Your CG are the people who:
...you meet up with during a snowstorm.
...pray for you weekly.
...rejoice with you when those prayers are answered.
...are quick to respond to parties with free food.
... all pitch in to get you a sweet wedding gift.
...help you move.
...watch and discuss The Bachelor/ette with you.
...send you blog posts - both silly and spiritual.
... you rent a house with for a retreat along with wine tastings.
...tell you about Peregrine.
...are the hands and feet of Christ.
...want to know your life story.
... you spend the holidays with when you don't go home.
...join you for runs or walks about the neighborhood.
...you constantly have to "break the ice".
...encourage you to meet your neighbors.
... travel hours in traffic to celebrate a wedding of a couple who live less than 5 minutes away.
...make sure you go to Good Stuff on a regular basis.
...celebrate engagements with champagne toasts.
...educate you about differences in Northern and Southern culture.
... have a hard time taking a serious picture.
...help you clean up your flooded basement.
...walk beside you through trying times.
...challenge you to love God and love others.
... promised to be the first ones on the dance floor at your wedding.
