Acceptance

Today we had a gathering of DT Hall Advisors. What used to be 5 children between the 5 couples when we first met is now 16 children. We even had 5 cousins thrown into the mix so that at one time there were 21 children in the Trumans brand new house. Did the children stay to themselves, play only with their siblings and shy away from the strangers? Not one bit. And yet how was it that there we 7 or 8 other adults there that I did not know that I still do not know? What an interesting contrast to see how the children made instant friends and the adults were the ones to linger with the ones they knew and leave the others to go about their business un-befriended. May I be more accepting and eager to get to know everyone around me.Oh such joyous times!
