I firmly believe in the power of others. What they bring to you, what they give you in support. Not financial support but with genuine and true supportive conversation and actions.
While I was turning in my Jeep Grand Cherokee at the dealership today I met a wonderful man we’ll call D.
People are thrust into your life without you knowing their back story. Without you knowing anything about them. This guy helped me out so many more ways than you’ll ever know. There are no chance meetings. I feel meeting this gentleman was key to my progress with this disease. I saw a post earlier this morning that said God will speak to you today, will you listen? I shared my story with D and he shared his family story with me. I won’t go into the details but it was a meeting I will cherish for a lifetime.
I was receptive to what was spoken to me. We shared and laughed. I truly feel you can be put into a situation that will mold you for life. This was today. Such positivity and caring from this stranger whom I now call a friend. This guy didn’t have to sit with me but our appointment concluded around 2:15pm. We sat and talked, shared our stories for the next hour. I felt an overwhelming calm when speaking to my new friend. Truly a blessing this guy was to me today. I didn’t think I would ever meet someone like this in today’s appointment turning in a lemon vehicle. It just goes to show you that there are no chance meetings in life. Everything seems to be laid out for you to grasp. It’s all a matter of perspective and if you are receptive to what is ahead of you, it makes the things in the rearview so small.
I thank God for this meeting today. D you are an amazing individual and I can feel the love and compassion you had towards me going through my new journey. Thank you so much for taking the time to sit and share with me this afternoon. You didn’t have to do that, you could have just done your job and closed it out. I believe the Lord chose our paths to cross and I am so thankful for this interaction. I can only imagine what others have gone through in a similar situation.
Will you listen? I did and I gained a new friend and an even more open mindset.
Jeremiah 32;27
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
Be bold in your actions. Stand firm.
