Saturday night

Saturday night, I had the honor of being part of an amazing experience. It was the night that I, along with 5 other women from three other faiths, had the opportunity to share prayers of peace from women's point-of-view. I have to admit, at first I was unsure how the "women's night" would go. Since women are not *technically* a faith of their own, I honestly had trouble figuring out what to say! (It took me several hours to come up with a 5-minute speech!) But while we were all up there, I got it. I understood. Women spend every part of their day taking care of others. Cleaning, cooking, shopping, taking kids to school, picking them up, taking them to their after-school activities. Very few things that we do are just "for us". So for me, Saturday night was kind of like a mental massage- a little gift from women, for women.
