The Guest List

I recently went to a beautiful castle that has been standing for hundreds of years. It belonged to one of the last monarchs of Germany.

While I was there, I walked into a massive, breath taking dinning room with a table longer than my entire living/dinning area. I don't think I even own enough plates in my house to set this enormous table. It made me pause and imagine sitting at this table while being served dinner. It would have been a grand affair with at least 6 courses, I can feel my corset tightening already.

I could have been delicately sipping soup served from a tureen while gazing out the window at the green sloping valley below me. With light and shadows from from the awe inspiring chandeliers resting on my powdered face.

I look around and who do I see? Who would be at my table if it could be anyone at all? No royalty would grace my table. No politicians or movie stars. It would be the ones who have loved me and I have loved as well. The ones I have let peer into my heart and brokenness. Who have shared tears and laughter with me.

Oh what a glorious night it would be. Laughing and toasting with bubbly drinks in crystal goblets without a worry about tomorrow.

I'll step away from the table for a moment and leave you something to chew on for awhile. Who would be at your table?
