SOMETIMES WISHES ARE ANSWERED QUICKLY

Yesterday Phil said, "I wish we could have gospel discussions with the kids. I really would love that."

Today, Kraut and Soap Queen and kids came over for leftovers because they have been installing a new floor in the living room and it was either come here to eat or starve. Now I could starve for a good long time and no one would even notice but the kids, and their parents, too, would drop like flies.

As the day progressed I was getting sick. And then sicker. Phil helped me put food out, I tried not to touch anything--he cut the turkey and ham, I just stirred things and put stuff in the oven. After dinner Kraut and Soap Queen, Phil and I sat in the living room. I was bundled up like a mummy. We talked and the subject of the gospel came up and we talked for over an hour. I looked at Phil and smiled. He was loving it. And I was loving the kids, that they granted his wish without even knowing about it.

Sometimes life just throws unexpected good things your way and sometimes we even have the good sense to recognize it. Like today.
