Every day miracles.
My friend’s car broke down—billowing smoke-- in a
neighborhood on her way to work this morning. She’s a Catholic school teacher
and single mom and doesn’t have easy funds to fix the car, but God provided
some consolation. A woman emerged from the house where her car was and invited
her in for a cup of tea.
I met up with friends with whom we shared a house five years
ago. It was one of the friend’s graduation party. She just gave birth to her
second child at age 43, and finished her graduate degree which took her five
years to complete given life changes. She got married to her husband of the
same age at 40, and they both received free cars in their lives when they were
poor. They’re still broke, and someone just gave them a minivan.
There was a substitute teacher at Aqua Zumba tonight. She played Tina Turner's Rolling On The
River. Twice. Everyone got so into it that people asked her to play it again at the end of the class. So she did, and the people in the hot tub stood
up to watch.
Amen.
