I realize in the face of so much real desperation and need that this feels quite trivial.
Lord knows, in my life I’ve had huge trials, and it seems there’s always one around the corner. But, this morning I said a little prayer.
My husband asked me to make a decision. Are we going to go to Portugal in the fall or not? he said. I don’t know if it’s prudential to travel right now, or save for retirement, or get our house which is now childless ready for market. We’re blessed to still be working, but we’re both aware that life can end tomorrow, and travel is something we both really love. So it didn’t really feel up to me to make such a decision. SO, I asked the Lord to show me. Please. What should we do?
Then I carried on with my day. Shopping at a local supermarket, looking at the meat, a lady looked at my basket and saw some pork. And she said, Oh that’s a wonderful cut of pork, if you bake it with spices. I’m Portuguese, and my husband loves this meat done that way. You should go to Portugal. Especially Fatima. … thank you Lord. We started talking and it was like two old friends. We hugged each other and went on our way.
Love days like that.
