One day a little group of lady bats got together and decided to form a group - they called themselves "The Bat Pack", sort of like the Rat Pack for female bats. This little group met every Wednesday for a year. Sometimes, one of the bats would bring a bat friend. Every time they met, they encouraged one another, uplifted one another, sympathized with one another, empathized with one another, prayed with one another, and just generally enjoyed one another's bat (not bad) company. One day, a bat flew in from far, far away for a special long-term project. So, she joined the bat pack and everyone was pleased. She shared her life, her stories, her recipes, and her special warrior spirit. You see, she had fought many battles and has the scars to prove it. Her undefeated record and victorious spirit inspired the other bats in a way they had not anticipated, and their hearts were uniquely and wonderfully touched.
After about 10 months, the special project was done, so the new bat made plans to move on to her new long-term project far away. The new bat made a wonderful celebration dinner and the Bat Pack said their goodbyes with laughter, tears, sighs and prayers.
Two Wednesdays later, the Bat Pack still mourned the missing bat, but is looking forward to hearing more stories of battles engaged and won from far away in bat miles, yet still quite near in God's kingdom.
