Separation makes the heart grow fonder. These are words whose meaning i savored the moment i returned to manila. Reunited with my singles friends brings with it so many benefits one of which i enjoyed this week. This is called the caring circle or cc as we in se call it. The cc for us is a bi-monthly gathering where we meet up and share wit each other our trials and triumphs. Its that gathering that reminds us that God is always at the midst of all our earthly endeavors. Ruthe interesting that this entry is written in a bar. Anyway back to my story. I never realized how important the cc was until i was deprived of it for a year. You see we all have our trials. Thats a part and parcel of life. However what the cc offers is an opportunity for you to share your trials with your close friends and gain strength from that sharing. I missed the cc and i loved being able to have it again surrounded by people who you know love you completely for who you are. As we grow older in this apostolate i hope we never lose our fervor for the cc.
