How many times do we look at our phone to see who is calling us?
If a number is unfamiliar, we sometimes if not all the time, do not answer it.
I must admit occasionally I do that myself. The other night at 9:30 p.m. an
unfamiliar number appeared on my phone. I let it ring a few times then
something said answer it. I did and the result of that phone call was a person
whom I met maybe twice talked for a good hour about how she needed to find God
to give her strength in her life. Much was happening in her life that she was
finding hard to handle. She heard from someone about St. Barnabas, and that I
attend the church. During this phone conversation, I did the listening as she
told me what had happened in her life for the past 5 years. She does not think
that God is in her life. I replied, "If He wasn't in your life then why did you
call me?" The end of the conversation left her saying that she was so thankful
to me for taking the time to listen. I said it wasn't just me listening, but
also God- the one who gave you the strength and courage to make that call.
God is amazing in all
His works. I wonder how He finds the time for all of us? So next time an
unfamiliar number appears on your phone, answer it..
