Dear God~
It was an ordinary day.
I made an ordinary business call.
Such calls usually last five minutes.
It took much longer.
The lady apologized for her lack of focus.
I assured her it was no problem.
Then she shared her family tragedy....
A sister...very ill...an extended time...life ended...out of desperation.
Burial today.
I prayed. I listened...and prayed...and listened more.
I told her I would continue to pray. She thanked me.
I only know her first name. I won't forget her.
Thank You, God, for allowing our paths to cross...
On no ordinary day.
I wonder...how many people cross our paths...
On an ordinary day...
Whose lives are anything but ordinary...perhaps even desperate?
They need someone to genuinely listen, care and pray.
Do we notice? You do, Heavenly Father. So should we.<3~thl
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, Who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." 2 Corinthians 1: 3>4
