Unwrapping Tuesday: New Friends, Same Tastes!

I love this idea of "Unwrapping Tuesdays" by giving thanks and appreciating the small things in life! We have noticed many differences in the two weeks we've been here, especially dealing with food we can and can't get. And in the land of tea, I have really missed coffee. Well, let me clarify - many people drink coffee here, but alas the truth comes out. I am not a true coffee connoisseur - I really enjoy the flavored creamer I drink with my coffee (I know, I know - if you could see me my head would be down in disgrace.) And I have to admit, I have scoured every grocery store we've been in to see if they have it!
Last week, I had the privilege of meeting a young mom and her two adorable girls. Her bubbly personality and friendliness immediately endeared me to her. I was also so relived to meet anyone my age with children that carried with it even the hint of a possibility of friendship! However, I knew true friendship may indeed be a reality when she told me the two things she always asks her parents to bring back from the states when the visit! Are you ready:
Canned Pumpkin (what is fall without this?) and Flavored Creamer!
I couldn't believe it - a girl after my own heart! The two things I love (and miss!)from home! I could have jumped up and hugged her right then while declaring my loyalty and undying friendship forever!
Praise the Lord for shared tastes and new friends in the making! It made me realize the Lord knows even our favorite tastes! What a reminder of His great love and personal attention to us!
