A friend came over this afternoon. When I opened the door, I smiled and said, “Come in. Make yourself at home.” She asked, “Should I take my shoes off?” and I said, “Yes, please. You can leave them by the door.”

Then I asked, “Would you like tea or water?” She chose tea, so I went into the kitchen and made a pot. “I’ll be a minute,” I said.

A little later, we sat by the window with warm cups in our hands. We talked about work, family, and the small things that had happened during the week. Nothing special was planned. It was simply two friends sharing tea and being together.

When it was time to leave, I walked her to the door and said, “It was good to see you. Get home safely.”
