Serendipity

 

Carol sent me a picture of herself with Mom, who she visited again yesterday. She sits with her, speaking into Mom’s good ear words of life and encouragement. Mom responds, declaring that Jesus has always been her best friend. At 101, limited in so many ways, Mom isn’t wavering. Praise Him for such a role model. I am truly blessed.

Carol and I only met in June at an ice cream stand near the home where Mom lives now. We recognised the Spirit in each other, were drawn together and though we barely know each other I am sure that our relationship will span eternity.

I met Don over fifty years ago, while checking out of a hotel in Stirling. Here we are, still loving each other after all the ups and downs of life. We know each other well, and I am sure our relationship will also span eternity.

Ours is the God who delights in creating serendipitous situations, where he brings people together who would normally never meet. May I be open and alert to any such situations I encounter today.
