Today I came across 4 piano music boxes upon a shelf behind the pianos. As I thought about the best place for them, I remembered I was going to have dinner with our favorite caregiver tonight. We have been keeping in touch and it was a good time to get together. She was so good with my mom and would guide her to the piano and encourage her to play. She even knew which pieces of music were doable. I thought it would be a nice momento for her to have one of the piano music boxes so I packed it up and brought it to dinner. The young woman was so surprised and we shared a few tears. We caught up on life events. She was so excited to tell me that she is getting baptized in a few weeks. When she was at the house, we often talked about faith and God. She was going to one of the popular churches in the area and I guess I just assumed she was already baptized. In any case, she was pretty excited about it. She also talked about some tough decisions she made in her relationships as she tries to live a “pure and honest life” in her words. I told her I was proud of her for doing the hard but important things to care for herself. It was such a blessing to see her.

I Found God today in the blessing of a compassionate young woman.
