Tonight we are spending time with some long-time dear friends (that doesn't mean that they are old!) in a time-share that they recently purchased. It is their first time in their new time-share and they wanted to share it with Lois and me. Terry E. wrote that many if not all of his surprises were around relationships...God or people. How true...Surprise. These dear friends surprised us with this wonderful time away with them. On top of it all I became aware that they had WiFi...it is little mystical like God...it's there even if you don't see it...Surprise...all you do is open the connection and bingo...you are in touch. Reminds me of this 3-word prayer and God surprises.
On the way here we had a few moments with 3 businessmen from Florida. They had been in MN to set up 85 new Firehouse Sub Stores...they had come to the airport early to try to catch an earlier flight. But only two of the three could go and so two of them started down the ramp to the plane as the third headed back to wait for their original flight later in the pm. When the other two got half way down the ramp they turned around to re-join their friend. They just could leave him by himself. I was surprised how open they were about their decision. They were truly good friends who cared for one another not just good businessmen who worked together. I was reminded of how God just could not leave us alone so he sent Jesus and later the Holy Spirit to be with us. In a few moments we had made new friends and knew more about them than most others we rub shoulders with each day...surprise. Spending time with those around us is so important and it is the place where most of our God sightings take place...so again tomorrow morning I will pray...Surprise Me, God...and keep my eyes, ears and heart open for God's hand in my life.
