I was waiting for a friend to join me At the restaurant. I was trying not to be impatient because She was late. As I sat at the table by the fireplace I Recognized a man who walked in the Door. He was married later in life and I Had heard his bride had recently Had a miscarriage. I approached him, and as we made small Talk I wondered. Should I mention the sad event? I looked him straight in his eyes, Wrapped my arm around his shoulder and Said, "I'm so sorry." As he shared the hard experience of losing a Baby he told me they were "still trying." I remembered a new craft I had completed, A jotting spot in my kitchen to write prayer Requests. "I'm going to add you to my list," I said, "Each day I'll be reminded to pray that God will bless you with a baby." "Thanks," the husband responded, "We really Need your prayers." Shortly, my friend arrived and apologized for Making me wait. "It was for the best," I assured her. Sometimes a late appointment leads to A divine one. |
