Divine Jumpstart

I was pulling out of the parking lot to take a load of kids to Spring Break Camp when I heard one of the residents yelling at me.  She was late for an important meeting and needed a jump on her car.  Gladly given, the jump start was not only for her car, but also a new friendship at Willow Pond.

The following week, I was passing out invitations for our first Power Lunch to help residents needing employment.  I looked up and there was my new friend.  When I explained the invitation, she paused with an amazed stare and said, “Did Heaven send you?” I looked right at her and said, “Yes, as a matter of fact, that is exactly who sent me!”

The joy isn’t in the activity at Willow Pond, but in the activity with Heaven!
