Today's Angel

My week is buzzing by so quickly. On Saturday my husband and I will leave to go to Alberta for my Mom’s services. This drive will take around 12 hours, lots of time to think.

I find that as Saturday approaches I am becoming a little more anxious regarding what next week holds. And even as I write that – I know – I’m not to be anxious for the Lord is with me ….

Still … it’s a long drive with mixed emotions attached all around.

Never-the-less, in the midst of all that as well as getting extra work handled before I go, there was a beautiful bright spot.

This morning I had to call one of our volunteers to ask them a question about a form they filled out. Not 5 minutes after speaking to her my phone rang and it was her 10 year old son “Cuba”.

“LJ” he says, “I just want you to know that I’m praying for you because of the loss of your mum.”

Sweeter words I could not possibly have heard today.

He had not been prompted. He was not coerced. God knew that I needed a little angel today, and “Cuba” made the call.

Simple blessings in a complex world.
