As much as my health often confines me to the house, there are situations every once in a great while in which I am forced to leave my house. Recently, my former pastor and his wife were visiting my area. Oh, how I have missed them! Thankfully, their tight scheduled allowed them to travel within a short distance from my house. I eagerly sought the opportunity to meet with them.
From the moment of our reunion, it was as if no time had elapsed since I had last seen them. They have left the church scene and are now missionaries traveling the USA and the world! It was incredible hearing about their global experiences. Their frightful encounters in China, in which God provided a hedge of protection and allowed them to safely flee the country, left me awestruck and praising God for their deliverance. As I sat listening to story after story, I was extremely grateful for the companionship and change from my usual daily life. For just a short time, it was wonderful to forget about all my health issues and just bask in the golden glow of friendship. What a tremendous blessing their visit was. Now back to bed and my regularly scheduled life...
