Restaurant early.
But the extra minutes gave me a
Chance to get aquainted with our
Server.
She is 21 but looks like 16.
And she is confused about her future, having
No idea what she wants to do.
I learned the young woman has 6 siblings, 3 of
Them adopted like she is.
And she was 11 when she joined her family and
Still has contact with her biological parents.
"I could write a book," she said.
"You should," I told her.
When my friends arrived, I introduced them to
The gal.
They had an immediate connection, for
Beth was adopted as a child, and
Marcy has three adopted children of her own.
(Not to mention my two adopted grandkids.)
The subject was near and dear to all of us.
We encouraged our server and prayed for her.
I gave her a gospel bracelet which she was
Wearing when we left.
And even though I knew her age, the woman
Still looked like a lost little teenager to me.
