Holy Spirit at Work

My apologies for being so lax with my posts – not that I think they will make or break anyone’s day. I have still been able to read and appreciate all of your posts, and for that I give thanks.

My lady friend mentioned in my Oct. 26 post needed attention as to her living conditions. She has nursing help coming in, but she really needed to be where she could have more human contact. The retirement apartments most often recommended and already visited by another friend seemed to be the best option.

I called this morning and an apartment had just become available today. We buzzed by after her doctor appointment and we were both dazzled. There is a beautiful dining room, many wonderful activities, and transportation to doctor appointments, shopping, and other outside activities. Her apartment is a studio and has a wonderful view of the enclosed garden area. She wrote out a deposit check on the spot and will be able to move in when the painting is complete and new carpet is installed.

Another friend, who thinks he’s an atheist, was along and he remarked about how lucky we were. No Nameless friend, that’s not luck - that’s how the Holy Spirit works.

Are we not blessed to be able to see the hand of God at work in our lives??

That's wonderful news, and I'm pleased that your friend gets to live in a more active setting than before.

Just let the Captain take the helm and do His job. It's terrifying to give up control, but when we do look what happens!:0)
