Short Thought

And...life moves on! It's a very warm day today--although we have snow in the forecast for Friday! But, that's Missouri weather for you!

My youngest daughter, Sara, and her boyfriend, Erich, bought us a year's subscription to NetFlix. Man oh man, we're having so much fun! We watched a really interesting movie yesterday (while the rain poured down) called, "Goodbye, Mister Tom". It was all about a little boy who had been sent out into the countryside of England during World War II (along with lots of other children) to escape the bombing that was going on. He was assigned to the home of Tom--a very cranky, bitter, old man who needed a little boy like William to keep him company!

Even though it's "make-believe" and a great story--I think God works that way in all of our lives! People and circumstances come along that we need! We all need to be stretched--not that it's pleasant when it's going on--but we are better off because of them/it!
