THE REST OF THE STORY

Postscript to Sunday’s story about a pharmacist who was having a terrible day and then heard a still, small voice reassuring her that God sees her and thinks she’s great:

Early the next morning, she had to run an errand before work, and drove down a back country road, through a park. She was listening to one of her favorite songs, and enjoying the peaceful drive when suddenly, she saw two fawns grazing. She stopped her car and watched, and thanked God for delighting her. “Feel free to do it again, Lord,” she whispered.

The car rolled past a lake covered with lily pads, and she saw what she called an “absolutely astounding” cloud covering the lake. It was so beautiful, she stared in wonder, even into her rear-view mirror.

She crested the next hill, and the main lake was below her. A huge, white, misty cloud was hovering over it -- moving and swirling. It reminded her of the clouds in the Bible, which signified the presence of God. Ducks and geese were gliding though it, appearing out of nowhere in the mist.

She took a photo with her cell phone as a lone goose appeared from the deep mist like a dream. She thanked God for the moment, for the errand He sent her on to have a chance to tell her He loved her more than she knew.

Not only that, but she stopped at her favorite coffee shop and they were featuring her favorite flavor, Crème Brulee. It was a good day at work, and she got to see several of her favorite patients.

No, she didn’t also get a million-dollar raise and win the lottery . . . but it was great to go from a terrible, horrible, no-good, very-bad day, to beauty and wonder. You know what they say: what a difference a day makes!

Prayer request: A great friend who is to become a grandmother once again, quite a bit later in life than most, seeks prayer that she can be a different kind of blessing “to this wee flicka.” She may not be as active, but she can sure be wise and sweet. She asks prayer for the mother’s many mid-term contractions, that they would abate and a full-term pregnancy could be achieved. And she prays for a stepgranddaughter who must have her gall bladder taken out on Friday. Lord, thank You for giving us grandmothers like this, whose unfailing love means so much to those who look to them as role models. (Hosea 10:12)
