A “Divine Appointment”

Waiting in the Houston airport for my next flight, I was a bit tired and lonely. Having explored the airport, I sat down in a sunny area to do some reading – but just as I started, God decided to fix my “tired and lonely” problem by plopping a very chatty, white-haired lady in front of me and letting her start telling me – with no introduction – all about her life. Bye- bye loneliness. :)

Then after about an hour of hearing of her family in Germany, of her Hispanic husband’s love of sports, of the silliness of cell phone capabilities, and of her physical ailments, she started talking about spiritual things. Bye-bye tiredness. :) She was religious, but she didn’t know God; she may be close to accepting Him, though. When it was about time for me to start heading back to my terminal, it occurred to me to offer her a tract to read while she waited for her plane, and she was very happy to take it. We parted as friends (though we still don’t know each others’ names); the cheerful little woman summed up our short time together by stating matter-of-factly how happy she was that we could have our little talk “instead of sitting and looking stupid.” I agree.
