Yea for cross generational friends!!

Yesterday a friend came to help me with a home improvement project. I am turning my son's old bedroom into a guest space / exercise room.  However, the current condition of the room is beyond bad.  Somehow, it became the, I- don't- know-where-to-put-it-I'll-stick-it- here room!   As we carried boxes, moved furniture & prepped the room to paint, we chatted non-stop.  She is an extraordinary young girl, just searching for God's perfect will for her life.  The neat thing is I am old enough to be her mother- but ours is a cross generational friendship.  I so enjoyed getting her perspective on issues and I so value any time we can spend together.  I love to hang-out with people from every generation, I can gain such value and wisdom from the varied perspectives.    By the time the walls were spackled to prep for painting we laughed as they were totally polka-dotted! I will say my dreaded project was off to a fantastic start.  Have you ever noticed how some projects don't even seem like work when you do them with a buddy.  Now who wants to come help me finish??
