Last Sunday evening … Peggy and I and our son Quinton are driving home from celebrating one of our son’s birthdays. It was getting a bit late … and I asked Peggy and Quinton if we could take a few moments on the way home to visit our friend Jayne. We go to her house … and enter the room. She is resting comfortably … in hospice care … in bed, surrounded by her 4 amazing kids. We hold hands, share the Lord’s Prayer … looking at the string of “little Jesuses” on the table. It’s quiet as she takes her last breath … entering the promise of eternal life. In a way …. it’s a coincidence that we stopped by just as her journey is ending. On the other hand, someone told me: “coincidence is God’s way of staying anonymous.” Last Sunday was a reminder to me —- when there is something we need to do, or something we need to say … the time is “now.” Whether it’s saying “I love you” or “I miss you” or “I’m sorry.” The phone call, the knock on the door … yes, the time is “now.” In the “silence of the moment” … in the midst of the chaos of an ordinary day —- this is where God lives and speaks to us. We often wonder where God is and how God speaks to us. All I know … and I don’t know much …. God is in the heart-and-soul of our daily journey. Thank-you, Lord, for walking with us. Peace to all — Don.
