Images of food being prepared on gas burners, tables set with make shift tablecloths and foam decorations, and women walking with heads down, quiet with hollow eyes of grief and shock.
Today was a day of true celebration as over 35 women gathered for the Bay St. Louis, Women’s Luncheon.
Our third anniversary, the sound of laughter cascaded from the door as the women greeted each other with hugs and kisses. True to Southern Hospitality the table was filled with chicken, potato salad, corn pudding and desserts galore.
We began celebrating our time with Leverne and Pat Hendricks, they have served here in the bay for two years and have become part or our community heart and will be moving on this month. Leverne said “I am humbled and honored, this is home for us.”
Each woman brought their favorite Women’s Luncheon memory to share with the group! We laughed, cried, hugged and did it all again and AGAIN!
At the end of the afternoon, we all sat back in our chairs, tummies and hearts FULL and gave thanks to God for the remarkable legacy He has left from Katrina.
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and love as He indeed is healing the broken hearted!
