After building a new home on a ranch, we had purchased several furniture
pieces from a local furniture store. Some general items took weeks to
arrive, some more complex items months. The saleslady called to share
that there would be a delay for some of our ordered items. Instead of
calling her back, and after grooming several horses, I decided to stop
by the store in person. My visit was greeted with a warm smile at first
then with tears in my saleslady's eyes. Her daughter was just diagnosed
as terminally ill only days before. My visit was received as an
opportunity to offer encouragement and words that flowed as light from
one mom to another at the gripping news. This was a sad day for me as I
entered the store for other personal reasons, yet as I drove away gained
such healing and hope as the Lord used even me to lift another soul
towards tomorrow.
