Gratitude 07.17.2009
Today, I am grateful for surprise visits from friends who come when you really need someone to talk to.
This afternoon Moanna and I were playing outside, and I thought, “wow our grass really needs cut. I hope Steve asked the lawn guy (a good friend of ours, Chris) to come soon.” Within half an hour of that thought, he showed up to mow our lawn. Later that evening, I learned that Chris hadn’t heard from Steve recently about the grass, but he could see the lawn really needed to be mowed. What a blessing!
Later, Marie (Chris’s wife) knocked on my door – just to say hi. I didn’t know it until we sat down, but I really needed to talk, and she was the perfect person for what was on my mind. We spent the next three hours talking as our children played; Chris joined us after he finished the lawn.
The more we talked, the more our conversation zoned in on what my soul was searching for. Marie and Chris said all the things I needed to hear, and they did it without me telling them what was weighing on me so heavily.
I am truly thankful for friends that just stop in to say hi.
