One of the reasons for the blog is to take a look at all the little ways God does what we like to call “showing off” – all those little coincidences and things that make us go hmmmm…… and today was a perfect example.
Yesterday I wrote about one of my favorite stories (“God and Jeff”) – it happened in 1988, and Jeff moved to Texas several years ago, and we moved to North Carolina… needless to say we had lost touch. We “friended up” on Facebook a couple of years ago, but no real interaction.
So imagine my surprise today when (during a brief “ADD break” on Facebook) I looked down and saw that Jeff was online! So I got to ‘chat’ with him for a minute, and tell him I had written the story, etc. How funny, that the day after I write the story, there he is!
But how often does that happen? How many times does someone cross our mind that we haven’t thought about in years, only to see them walk by us two days later? Or we suddenly get the urge to write or call someone out of the blue (more on that tomorrow)? I have come to believe that those instances (when someone crosses my mind) are God preparing me to see folks I might otherwise not have noticed or recognized…. a preview, if you will, of things to come, if only I will pay attention!
Who has crossed your radar today? Keep your eyes open! You never know when they might walk by 🙂
