It is interesting how God orchestrates relationships from the briefest encounters. I have been pondering the coolness of that for myself over this past year in Anderson. I attended a Bible study for a short period at the beginning of the school year. I was put into one group, but found that most of the women in the group were young mothers. Although I have some young kids, I am actually an "old" mother of young kids! :) I tried one other group and was only able to attend a few short times. Then I realized that the situation was not best for my home-schooling kids. They were trying to be good in child-care, but they were getting bored. So, I decided I shouldn't go anymore and should focus fully on their school since I had committed to doing that. Although I didn't spend much time in that group, I met someone who has become a dear friend. She in an incredible person and I am glad that I was able to get in touch with her after I left that study group. I have been so blessed by my relationship with her...and all from a short but important time in that Bible study!
Another relationship I have been so blessed by is a friend from high school. We have not kept in touch at all, but came across each other at church during this year. I am thankful for the time I have gotten to spend with her. She is not going to our church anymore, and when I thought about it, it made me so thankful that our paths crossed when they did. God is good that way!!
Who has God brought into your life who you are thankful for? How did God orchestrate that?
