Father's Day Surprise

This weekend brought a huge surprise. Doug received a text from Tammy to see if she could come over and demonstrate a product for us. While we never got to the demonstration, we revived a relationship that served to shape us and added such value. I was reminded how God delicately places people in our lives.

Several years ago, we offered a place to stay for this young lady who was having some difficulties after the loss of her dad to cancer. A unique relationship ensued and for the next few years she allowed us to mentor her. We lost touch with her for a while, but were invited to her graduation. What joy to know that she is at an important juncture in her life and we can be a part of it. During our conversation, we learned she lives at one of the apartment complexes where we do outreach. She has offered her time to help with Sunday Bible Blast.

A cool part of the story is it all happened on Father's day. A day I was missing my daddy who died of cancer two and half years ago. I think Tammy was missing her daddy, too. She has looked to Doug to offer a fatherly voice in her life and maybe, in some way that made the day a little easier for her.

Sometimes I personally get caught up in the things of life, I forget to invest in the people God has placed in my life. What about you? Is there anyone who made an indelible mark in your life that you've lost touch with? What would happen if you renewed that relationship?
