1. Mouth sores – I get them all the time. Have one right on the tip of my tongue right now.
2. Rotten food in the refrigerator that I can’t locate. – The frige smells every time I open it, but I can’t find what the culprit is.

Thoughts for today:
Nothing is a surprise to God – that’s right, He’s never had a surprise party….
Unlike God, we are often taken by surprise when things don’t turn out the way we planned. We have hopes that things might be a certain way, or that things should be a certain way.

While visiting my father at the assisted living facility today, we saw the son of one of the residents. He said his father moved out because he had to be hospitalized. The father is 93 years old.
That’s life, isn’t it? No matter how well you live, how long you live, death will catch up…

She said she did not know that verse, but she heard God speak to her in similar words when she was feeling overwhelmed and distressed about her job. When she got home and told her husband, he showed her Isaiah 41:10 – almost the exact words that came to her when she was driving home.
After talking to some friends about finding friends for support, it got me thinking about my journey of friendships through life stages.
It’s easier to have friends when you are single, in college. Everyone you see daily are in the same stage of life, with similar issues, and it’s easy to find people who understand you, a meeting of the minds. As a Christian, I naturally gravitated towards finding friends for support in a Christian fellowship group.
I’ve been attending a small church for the last 20 years. Everyone in a small church has to wear several hats, and I had taken on some leadership roles. I don’t think I’m gifted as a leader. I’ve always seen myself as a teacher and discipler. But since there are many needs in a small church, I do whatever needs to be done.
