A God Ordained Visit

Big day today.....I substituted this morning at the elementary school. It was a pleasant morning but after figuring out what I got paid, both Ken and I decided I wouldn't accept half days any longer. Not worth the time and the gas.

At noon, I went to my friend, Bernice's, for a cup of tea. She then accompanied me to the printer where I perused a copy of the brochure for our next woman's retreat. After a few editorial moves, it looked professional and ready to approve but I want at least one other team member to see it before I tell him to print 600 copies.

After that job was finished, I dropped Bernice at her home (didn't hurt her a bit) and headed for my house to pick up my Bible and study book for a one on one study with a young gal from our church. She is a delight and I come away having been moved by her budding faith.

Next it was off to church to bring a glut of water pitchers that have been accumulating here. We used them one year for a retreat and that caused me to start one more collection. This morning, I bit the bullet and bagged up ten pitchers and gave them to church. I also had a project I wanted to talk with the secretary about and as usual she helped me above and beyond the call of duty. Thanks Patty, you're the best.

Home for a few minutes one more time today. Decision was made to go to the nearest truck stop for an omelet. Isaiah came along and actually ordered an omelet as well. I've noticed that the boy is getting a bit more adventurous when choosing things to eat. Must be growing up. After we ordered, a man from our church came in alone. We invited him to join us at our table. It was a God ordained visit. We learned he has had more than his share of hard knocks and needs our prayers. If we only knew the details of the lives that share our pews with us, we would be more patient, more humble, more loving and more caring. God bless that man.

It was a busy yet productive day.

Awful day again on Wall Street and in foreign markets. I'm believing God, how about you?
